Description:
Every year since returning to the U.S., Xuan Yun returns to Wudang Mountain, to visit his teachers and reconnect to the Dao in the place he grew up. Each year, we welcome those interested to share this trip with him. We don’t think of this as a formal tour group, rather a pilgrimage. We hope to travel together, and immerse ourselves in Wudang lifestyle as much as possible.
The 2012 trip will be in October, allowing participants to join in the ceremonies taking place for the 600th anniversary of the temples on Wudang Mountain.
