Goufae Posted May 13, 2014 Nice to be here, it looks to be a very interesting place. I am a real human, I don't think that has ever been questioned, a bot would have much better teeth than I do. In my spare time I enjoy long distance running to an almost obsessive degree :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Student Posted May 14, 2014 So what's your background in Taoism? Passing interest? A study in the healing or martial arts? Philosophy? Spirituality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goufae Posted May 17, 2014 Hi Student, thanks for the question. I suppose I'd call it a philosophical interest more than anything but I feel the spiritual side is starting to develop within me. Taoism always struck a chord with me whenever I read about it and so over the years I've made a point of being open to finding out more about it, allowing bits and pieces to filter through rather than striving to learn. I joined the British Taoist Association a couple of years back and later this year will attend one of their meditation retreats to see where that takes me.
