About the teacher

Solala Towler

Solala Towler has spent over 30 years studying and teaching Daoist practice, including qigong, Taoist meditation, the I Ching, and tea ceremony. Based in Eugene, Oregon, he served as editor and publisher of The Empty Vessel: A Journal of Daoist Philosophy and Practice for 25 years.

He is the author of 12 books on Daoist arts and Taoism, a founding board member and past president of the National Qigong Association, and has led numerous study tours to Daoist sacred sites in China and Taiwan.

It is in letting go of the mind, letting go of the expectations, and letting go of the goals that I can benefit the most from this revitalizing and harmonizing practice.
