Taoism in Tucson?

[Azoro]

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a place where I can learn about

Taoism and meditation in Tucson. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Don't know about Tuscon but search for Master Hua Chig Ni and read some of his books

 

 

How, bout Maryland Eastern Shore?

Thanks, Bill. I'm told Michael no longer lives in Tucson.

 

Mainly, I'm looking to start doing meditation. I guess it need not necessarily be of the Taoism variety. Any suggestions for good meditation groups in Tucson (Taoist or otherwise)?

Hi Azoro,

 

If you're not limiting to Taoism, you might want to check out:

 

The Zen Desert Sangha

 

They sound pretty well-established. The teacher's teacher, Robert Aitken, Roshi, was one of

the earliest Americans to study zen in Japan, and taught in Hawaii for many years.

Thanks, Ken. That one looks promising. Think I'll check it out.

There's also the Shambhala Center: http://www.tucson.shambhala.org/

There's another sangha I've been to but forget their name, they are in the lineage of Thich Naht Hanh.

 

As far as Taoism, check out Providence Institute; they've got some stuff. Taoist Yoga and every once in a while classes/workshops open to the public: http://www.providenceinstitute.com/

 

And then there is BodyWorks; they occasionally have workshops: http://www.bodyworksstudio.com/bwhomemain.html

 

There are two acupuncture schools that may be of help.

 

Also go to Seven Cups!! http://www.sevencups.com/community/tea-house/

Thanks for the heads up, Lozen.
