NEW COURSE: Taoist History 101!
Welcome to our free open course. Whether you’ve only heard about Qi, believe it’s a kind of energy, or have already tried one of our Qi activation exercises, this course is your gateway to deeper Daoist wisdom and embodied practice.
This is not a “10-minute Qi trick.”
In Daoism, Qi is part of a vast, profound, and mysterious system. It’s not just theoretical—it’s something that can be felt, activated, and practiced.
That’s why this course combines Daoist cosmology with anchored practical methods to help you directly experience Qi and initially understand it in an embodied way.

Too many modern systems strip Daoist practices down to technique, losing their depth and coherence. We built this course to give you a clear, accessible, and authentic introduction to real Daoist cultivation—in a way that is knowable, learnable, practicable, and verifiable.
Even if you’re not yet ready for formal cultivation, learning this course helps you reconnect with your body, awaken subtle awareness, break through numbness from stress, overthinking, or disconnection, and begin the path of true internal transformation.
