The Center of Traditional Taoist Studies is a non-profit 501(C)(3) religious organization committed to promoting Taoist ideas and practices. Our mission is to make available unambiguous teachings in Taoist philosophy, physical arts, and religion; and to further instruct individuals in ancient practical techniques that improve health and inspire contentment in everyday life.

As a public service The Center of Traditional Taoist Studies hosts and maintains Tao.org. Tao.org is the world’s authoritative online Taoism resource and Taoist gathering place. It fosters an online community where people can come together to study, share experiences, ask questions and find local resources to aid them in their pursuit to learn more about Taoist philosophy, religion, literature and related topics – such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbs), Qi Gong, Martial Arts, Meditation, Feng Shui and Taoist Mysticism.

The Center of Traditional Taoist Studies strives to make available classes, webinars, seminars, articles, books, and lectures designed to help educate people about classical Taoism. The Center is funded entirely from the contributions of students and online members. Using these contributions, the Center plans to methodically increase public access to the authentic and true teachings of Tao.
