A Simple Life: Walking with the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching)

Join us for a weekly, interactive exploration of the Daodejing—one of the most influential works of philosophy ever written.

Each session, we move through the text verse by verse, unpacking its ideas and exploring how they apply to everyday life.

You’re welcome to join at any point. There’s no need to have attended previous sessions, and no prior knowledge is required.

We value a wide range of perspectives and encourage thoughtful discussion. Whether you’re new to the Daodejing or have spent years with it, your voice is part of what makes the experience meaningful.

Our approach is philosophical and naturalistic rather than religious. We focus on the text as a source of insight into perception, language, behavior, and the patterns of life—without requiring any particular beliefs.

If you’re curious, reflective, and open to exploring ideas with others, you’ll feel at home here.
