Welcome to a Personal Tao Retreat.
We offer four styles of Retreat Experience.
Taoist Retreats
Personal Retreats
Dance Retreats
Mid Life Transformation Retreats
The difference in the retreat styles are within the focus of the retreat itself.
Our Taoist Retreats focus upon helping a person move deeper into Taoism. A Dance Retreat
uses movement practices as the primary tool of self exploration. Personal retreats are focused to further a person along their path of inner self exploration.
Finally a Mid Life Transformation retreat concentrates upon the personal nature of change.

Taoist Retreats
As a Taoist Master, Casey teaches the path of the awakening dragon. This is a modern school of Taoism focusing upon the core details of Taoism taught with contemporary language.
In discovering the path of the awakening dragon, a person will discover inner teachings of Taoism thousands of years old, while also expanding upon the best aspects of living in the here and now.

Personal Retreats
Occasionally in the exploration of life, a person needs to take a moment of pause
and embrace new perspective. Julie and I guide such
explorers to relax and take time for a personal retreat. We aren't a mass market
retreat center; we openly share our Taoist temple with others, the temple being
our lives. This sharing opens up possibilities to explore many practices.
Every personal retreat experience is unique and always tailored specifically to
meet your needs. Before the retreat, Julie and I will have a quick discussion with
you to orientate the initial retreat experience. Once the retreat starts, we follow
Taoist principles letting the retreat flow and change to best meet a student's needs.
In this manner we ensure our Taoist retreats are both soulful and meaningful for
everyone.

Dance Retreats
We invite you to experience practicing the ancient
arts of ecstatic dance & movement meditation! Experience the body as both a Temple
& a Prayer in Motion. Renew, Reflect, Release, Rejoice and Relax on Retreat!
We integrate ecstatic dance, Taoism, and other movement meditation practices into an experience
focusing on your soul & spirit - your body, heart
and mind connected within the motion of life itself.
For more information about our dance practice please visit Julie's Ecstatic Dance page.

General Retreat Information
Every retreat experience is unique and always tailored specifically to meet your needs. Before the retreat, Julie and I will have a quick discussion with you to orientate the initial retreat experience. Once the retreat starts, we follow Taoist principles letting the retreat flow and change to best meet a student's needs. In this manner we ensure our all retreat experiences are both soulful and meaningful for everyone.
We take clients on a case by case basis only. A retreat can be as short
as four hours or last as long as a week or two. Due to the intensive nature of the
personal
retreat, new clients are only scheduled for 1 to 3 day introductory retreats.
The cost of the retreat is a reasonable time for time rate.
These personal retreats are not vacation packages, it's a time to be taken seriously where
a person receives guidance towards finding peace of soul. We apply
techniques thousands of years old used by many eastern monasteries. This is part of an ancient, soulful and spiritual
path helping
seekers integrate into their own life while revealing
new possibilities. The difference in these personal retreats is our
process of blending modern and ancient knowledge mixed to our compassion of acceptance that aids a person within their journey.
The location of these personal retreats vary. As Taoists we wander to many
wonderful locations for the retreat experience.
Currently we are located in the high desert of Prescott & Sedona Arizona. In the
summer 2008 we will be in Taos New Mexico. Later in the year we will explore a few new locations for the retreat.
Since the Personal Tao retreat moves with our life: we can come to where you are
located or you can come to our temple.
