Free your heart from desire and fear and your pond becomes the perfect reflection of Tao.

Go to the pond, sit, be still and your silence will grow. You will come to know Tao.

Lao Tzu said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is the first step in your new journey. We follow the principle of slow growth, one thing at a time, leads to a road less traveled. A road of self-realization, complete with all the manure of our lives.

The Tao Te Ching Institute is dedicated to offering individuals and groups the opportunity to reflect in the teachings of the Tao Te Ching with tones of Buddhism and Christianity woven in here and there where appropriate.

When we say lean in we refer to the idea that we are who we are and no amount of work will change that without embracing everything we are today, manure and all. The leaning in is the process which provides the compassion to effect change.

By embracing the whole you remove the stress relative to; not understanding polarities and how they affect your life. Polarities affect everything. Problems arise when we prefer one over the other rather than accept both as fact. Accepting polarities as fact allows us to enjoy the dance of existence.

Only 10% of humankind has come to understand and enjoy the power of natural harmony and dance within the river of consciousnesses. Are you ready to be a part of the 10%? Then become a member of our institute and begin your journey. Take your first step today. In a few years, you too, will be well down your path.
