Jakara Posted December 5, 2007 Hello, Â Yes there is the BTA (British Taoist Association) in London/England. It is headed by 2 or 3 priests from the Long Men (Dragon Gate) sect. Â They have a website: Â http://www.taoists.co.uk/ Â Â Thanks, Jak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandalwood Posted December 6, 2007 Great, thanks for that. I've had a look at their website, it looks very interesting. Have you had any experience with them before and do you happen to know if you can go there for classes/discussions? (I couldn't see this info on the website, other than the retreats they hold) Â thanks again, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakara Posted December 6, 2007 Hi, Â Yes ive been on several of their weekend retreats, they are usually on meditation and daoist yoga and are all excellent. The main priest is called Shi Jing who if i remember correctly was a student of Gia-fu Feng before becoming a daoist priest in the dragon gate tradition. The best way to contact them is by email or post, i believe they have weekly meetings as well as about 4 weekend retreats per year. Â Thanks, Jak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
