In this upcoming Kinship Cafe, we will pull together what we have learned about how the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) works and what it looks like to live it out. Links are in the Calendar section.
Thanks for asking Dane. It's funny how the Dao finds you. I wasn't looking for it at all, but here I am. I had been looking for some form of exercise as I had not been able to due to a pretty bad knee and some pinched nerves in my lower back. Enter Tai Chi, which I found some online paid sites that I really like. But as I was investigating Tai Chi, I kept hearing about the mental side of it, and I found Dao. I just basically started in late Dec/Jan reading some books and finding a few Facebook group pages to learn what I could. The more I researched, the more I found myself already living several of the ideals that align with Dao. It has helped me tremendously as I am going through several changes in my life. I get to have my knee replaced this fall, so in preparation for that, I got on a glp-1 and changed my diet and all but illuminated alcohol from my life, which was a huge deal as most of my life revolved around alcohol. Hope that wasn't over sharing, I just can't tell half a story. I'm always looking for new places to learn, and am only probably a half hour from Fallbrook, so at some point I will make it up there. But I see Jim's posts on Facebook quite a bit so that is what specifically brought me here. I look forward to the journey
