Sandalwood Posted December 5, 2007 Hello there, Was just wondering if anyone knows of any Taoist temples, organisations or clubs, etc in London or England generally? I am planning to head over there shortly and would really like to meet some likeminded people over there. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakara Posted December 5, 2007 Hello, 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. They have a website: http://www.taoists.co.uk/ 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) thanks again, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakara Posted December 6, 2007 Hi, 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. Thanks, Jak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
