A Lifetime in the Making…

Master Bruce Frantzis learned the Daodejing in Chinese for more than a decade, initially as part of his Daoist Priest training and completing it with his master, Liu Hung Chieh, in the traditional way: passed down orally from generation to generation for millennia. The words contained in the Daodejing are only the beginning, as it takes a much deeper and committed understanding as well as accumulated experience in particular meditation practices in order to fully embody and live the ideals and wisdom contained in the text. In this workshop, Master Frantzis will teach how to apply the principles of Daoist Meditation as expressed in the inner teachings of the Daodejing in daily life.

What You Will Learn

Master Frantzis has never before taught the Daoist meditation practices of the Daodejing as a formal event to this degree of depth, so it is a mystery to all of us what may unfold. This is a truly rare event to be a part of, and an absolute must for anyone dedicated to Daoist practices or philosophy interested in taking a more spiritual path through life: the road less traveled. It is suggested to familiarize yourself with the recent release Daodejing: The Oral Tradition to best prepare yourself for the teachings and transmissions during this event. This workshop will focus on the practical aspects of the Daodejing instead of the text itself.

 To make the most of any of this summer’s events and achieve the best personal growth, it is recommended to attend all 3 weeks in-person.

Master Bruce Frantzis

Bruce Frantzis is a recognized Daoist Lineage Master and the Founder of Energy Arts. He trained for over a decade and a half in China, India, and Japan and worked extensively as a qigong tuina doctor. For more than 50 years he has studied and taught the martial, healing, and spiritual practices of ancient China. He teaches qigong, meditation, and tai chi (and the related arts of baguazhang and xingyi) and has authored more than a dozen books on these subjects. The heart of his tradition is the cultivation of Qi (chi), the internal energy that connects the mind, body, and spirit to the underlying consciousness of the universe (Dao).

In-person attendance is always recommended. Bruce responds directly to those he sees practicing in the room and adjusts accordingly. The teachings are transmission-based and offered in a sealed space – embodying the information is most possible in-person.

• Hands-on adjustments from Bruce and his Senior Instructors.
• Priority during Q and A sessions.
