Meditation classes, seminars & training
Taoist meditation of the integral Way tradition
A companion skill for healers and anyone engaged in stressful lives, Taoist Integral Way meditation practice releases the human being from ego-centered isolation to unite with the environment, our natural world and expanding universe and cultivate a harmonious co-evolution with all of creation. The practices are known to revitalize the body, mind and spirit and help you on the road back to complete health physically, emotionally and spiritually.
“Meditation is good training for learning the serenity of deep being.”
99% of all disease is either caused by or exacerbated by stress. Thousands of years of case studies and several decades of modern scientific evidence show that healthy stress management skills like meditation are a crucial part of personal health and longevity.
Historically, these Integral Way meditation practices were the seeds that blossomed into the treasures of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including the modalities of acupuncture, herbology and Qi Healing. If you are a healthcare provider, whether you care for others through allopathic or energy medicine, counseling or other modalities and services, these meditation practices are an effective self-care tool to replenish your personal vitality and avoid compassion fatigue, burn out, or depression.
meditation classes
All practices presented during our seminars and classes have been explored by meditators for thousands of years and have proven to be both safe and effective.
The secular tradition of the Integral Way recognizes the importance of natural diversity and emphasizes “self-cultivation” or self-development through each individual’s unique dedication. The practices are therefore presented so that each can discover and make them blossom within the sincerity of their own being. Taoist meditation styles, from deep breathing to visualization, whether sitting, standing, or lying down, are rooted in the essential practice of inner quietude. A Taoist meditation class, usually tailored to a particular context, explores one or two styles at a time in order to guard simplicity of focus.
Early morning online courses
Our gentle approach and online offering will allow you to grow your meditative practice at your own pace, from the comfort of your home and at a supportive time for meditation. To reap maximum benefits, we recommend that you plan personal practice times regularly outside of class time during the period of the course.
You will learn the fundamentals of the Taoist art of riding the waves, twists and turns of the world with ease, bringing quietude and regeneration into your life. Through an easily accessible modern distillation, we will explore tools used for thousands of years that strengthen health, establish poise and awaken.
Moderated by Claire C Cunneen, a long time Taoist mentor and College of Tao certified meditation guide.
