This unique session will support the cultivation of traditional healing practices and nurture the spirt. Three sessions in all, October through December, a small group (limited to 5) will convene at the home of Acharya Satyavani and Priest Michael  for an applied cooking class, drawing from the Taoist inspired Infinichi 5 Tastes Cookbooklet. A vegetarian menu will be selected, students assigned to bring ingredients and then a collaborative experience of preparing and sharing the meal. Combined with tea, this is an opportunity to interact, develop skills and treat your palate to some new tastes. Each student will be responsible to download the Cookbooklet for $6.

This ten-week course immerses the student in ancient Taoist movement arts to cultivate qi for health and to awaken the spirit. Divided into ten, one-hour sessions, you will learn the long sequence of movements known as Dao-In.  Dao-In translates to mean energy conducting. Each session will take a specific segment, eight in all plus an introduction and a concluding class. Once you learn this powerful practice you will then dedicate yourself to daily practice for six weeks, perhaps choosing to make this your primary practice in the long-term. A written assessment will be completed at the end of the course. Students will receive a supportive text and DVD that detail the complete series.

Along with qigong and yin yoga, this course completes the movement section of The Way of the Tao Level 1, aka: The Green Way.
