Integration into Sacred Rural Life in China
On October 15th, we travel to the Wudang Mountains, a legendary Daoist landscape where the spirals of yin and yang are said to meet. We will stay at the private rural residence
of Daoist Priest Yin Chen Zi and his wife Li Xin, sharing organic, home-cooked meals and daily life in close connection with the land. Within this intimate setting, we deepen our practice through traditional methods that cultivate health, resilience, and the capacity to care for oneself and others.
