Taoism Diploma Course

Considered both a religious and philosophical tradition, Taoism emphasises living in harmony with the Tao - the source, pattern or substance of everything that exists - and a term that literally translates into ‘The Way’, yet remains indefinable.

What Will You Learn?

Your first steps on the journey into Taoism, this course provides you with an introduction to the principles and practices of the tradition, with no prerequisite knowledge required.

You can use the Taoism Diploma Course to help you reach higher levels of spiritual awareness, serenity and harmony, to start you on your path within this philosophy or to discover and use Taoism’s principles to aid your personal development without formally taking on the religion. This may take the form of finding enlightenment through the Tao Te Ching, gaining personal insight through the use of the I Ching, or finding inspiration and guidance through other Taoist practices.

You can also use the course to simply gain a greater understanding of Taoism and its place in history and culture.
