China study trip and initiation / ordination

Every year we go with a group of Dao students on a 10-14 days pilgrimage to China to study with exceptional masters in the sacred Daoist places, mountains and temples. The participants experience an unforgettable time with deep impressions and indescribable experiences that open their Daoist eyes. The tradition of the Daoist masters opens up to suitable students by joining the Quan Zhen Pai lineage through a Bai Shi ceremony (initiation). This ceremony is the baptism as a Daoist adept and the first step to mastery. The initiation in the temple in China is something very special for every Daoist.
