About Dao of Well Being Tours
●Our itineraries are planned
with attention to EVERY detail, including the
time, space and freedom to REALLY experience some of the most
spectacular sites in the world at a deep and meaningful level.
● We LISTEN to what you want and and discuss details of
the trip with you, before you register, so you sure you are signing up
for the trip that is just right for you.
● We personally lead each tour; ensuring personalized
care and a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
●Our tour groups are intentionally limited in size
to optimize the best group dynamics and experience for our tour members.
Our tours are decidedly unlimited in scope.
● We have worked
closely with our friends and colleagues in China and Tibet for
over 12 years. Many of our guides are just like family. Together we
ensure that every part of our journey and your experience unfolds
seamlessly.
● Our years of
experience leading trips to China
and a over a decade spent compiling international resources enable
us to provide you with the exceptional quality of program, itinerary,
study, accommodations and fine cuisine that we wished for in our earlier
experiences of China.
●
An exceptional
Qigong
and Tai Chi program is a feature of our trips. We
include early morning Qigong and Tai Chi and also offer a program of
stress reduction, the Daoist Healing Arts and subtle energy cultivation.
This program is included in the tour. Of course, participation is
entirely optional.

expectations.....
