What we’re about
The Yi Jing (or I Ching): What is it? A book of wisdom? A manual for divination? A philosophy of life and change? Different people have approached it from many different perspectives.

The Dallas Yi Jing (I Ching) Meetup gets together once a month.
UPDATE: I am moving our meeting to July 12 to avoid any conflicts with the 4th of July holiday weekend.
We will begin by allowing anyone to share a recent reading that they received, and why that reading was notable. Did the reading raise any questions or new insights? Reflect back and share what you have experienced.
This month we will look at these three hexagrams and other related hexagrams:
- Hexagram 61 - Inner Truth
- Hexagram 52 - Keeping Still
- Hexagram 20 - Viewing Observation

No prior knowledge of the Yi Jing (I Ching) is required. Our members have different levels of experience and different approaches. We welcome all who would like to attend.
Those people that have translations of the Yi Jing are encouraged to bring their translations to the meeting. A portion of the meeting usually includes a comparison of the different translations. Extra copies of English translations of the Yi Jing are available for those that do not have a translation.
Our meetings usually last more than an hour, but people are free to leave the meeting whenever they need to go.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our organizers (https://www.meetup.com/DallasYiJing/suggestion/).
