WELCOME TO THE COLLEGE OF TAO 

AND INTEGRAL HEALTH

All our programs at the College of Tao guide you to look within to restore the balance and vibrancy of your life through harmony with nature. The teachings and practices are broadly known as the Integral Way and originated from the early practitioners of natural Subtle Truth known as Tao. Those individuals observed nature closely and realized how human beings can live in a healthy way in order to fulfill their lives and actualize their true spiritual potential.

Our mission is to preserve the spiritual wisdom and practices of the Integral Way Tradition and offer this to humanity, so you and all future generations have an opportunity to experience the radiant health, peace and spiritual truth that comes from living in harmony with the universal nature of life.

To facilitate your learning experience, the teachings have been organized into various branches of knowledge, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Five Healths, the Eight Pillars, nutrition, and energy conducting practices such as tai chi, chi gong, and meditation. Follow your interest to experience true freedom and contentment, while making a constructive contribution to humanity and to Mother Earth.

In times like these, the teachings and practices of the Integral Way offer guidance and strength. Now more than ever, these practices can help you maintain faith, stay balanced, and be resilient in the face of adversity. The wisdom of aligning with nature’s cycles, maintaining inner peace, and nurturing community will serve as a vital source of healing and renewal during this trying time.

 

If there are specific ways we can assist—whether it’s providing resources, sending supplies, or connecting you with support services—please do not hesitate to reach out. In times of crisis, the strength of a community is invaluable, and we are here for you. 

 

Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. We are hopeful that, with the resilience and unity that defines your communities, better days lie ahead.
