Class Dates: 5/12, 5/19, 6/2, 6/9, 6/16, 6/23, 6/30
Instructor: Harrison Moretz
In this class on Taoist psychology we will systematically explore the underlying patterns of qi and their expression in mental and emotional states and interpersonal relationships, as well as methods to harmonize and transcend these patterns as an integral part of Taoist spiritual cultivation.

Taoist psychology traditionally falls within the broader category of Yin Yang - Five Element studies. It employs terminology and maps from Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian cultivation (the three teachings), Chinese medicine, and the Yi Jing (Book of Changes).
