Koh Tao Island - Paradise
Koh Tao Island will be the site of our Teacher Training and Golden Elixir Retreat. Drifting serenely in the Gulf of Thailand, the palm-fringed island of Ko Tao takes its name from the abundant sea turtles that reside on its shores. White sand beaches sheltered by steep hills – some only accessible with four-wheel drive vehicles – and 300 days of sun per year invite long afternoons of lounging in nature. A perfect retreat to experience the transformational training of the TaoYoga Arts System.
“Where we stayed in Koh Tao was beautiful and the ideal setting to train and be with nature....”

TaoYoga Arts System
The Way of Energy Development from the Taoist Tradition... The TaoYoga Arts System is a modern and comprehensive approach to Taoist Practice. Taoist Practice in Ancient Times was often referred to as 'Dan Dao' - 丹道 - which means the Way of Developing the Inner Elixir - the Purified Inner Energy - which arises and is developed in the Tan Tian Center. The Way of Dan Dao was once a unified, and holistic Taoist System of practice and is the root of the various separate methods we find in modern times such as Qigong, Nei Gong, and Tao Yin. In modern times, the Ancient Art of Dan Dao is often termed Taoist Yoga. In this exciting Retreat and Teacher Training on Koh Tao Island, we will guide our members through a unique process of Inner Alchemy, guiding one to Awaken Healing Energy and learn a complete and traditional system of Taoist Yoga. Members will be guided through various unique Taoist Sets of Qigong, Nei Gong, Nei Dan, and Tao Yin drawn from the TaoYoga Arts System. We also will learn the first 5 Stages of Taoist Longevity Breath Training, and detailed lectures on Taoist Cosmology, and the process of Energy Development. Our Program is comprehensive, and we welcome the complete beginner, and also the experienced practitioner of Yoga, Qigong and the Healing Arts.

Your Guide on this Journey...

Jesse currently is the director of the TaoYoga Arts Association of Japan, and has literally taught many hundreds of students. Jesse also has led extensive tours and retreats in the sacred mountains, and hidden Taoist Sites of China for many years, giving him extensive experience in leading groups and organising all of the logistics of travel, on ground transportation and lodging. Traveling to a foreign country with a group can be a wonderful, but also challenging experience - Jesse strives to always go the extra mile to ensure exceptional experiences, safety, comfort, and guide his groups into the sacred and mysterious realms in the countries he leads his retreats in.

Taoist Symbology and Cosmology explained....
“What is an Alchemist...”
Alchemists are people who transform common substances into something more valuable, such as converting lead which is a common metal, into gold - which is valuable and precious. This Art of Transformation is termed Alchemy, and has traditions we may find in both Ancient Europe and China
In the Taoist Tradition, we find references to the Path of 'External Alchemy' which was concerned with the transmutation of metals, and the combination of rare herbs and materials into a physical 'Elixir Pill' of Long Life. We also find the Taoist Tradition of 'Inner Alchemy', which focuses on the cultivation, transformation, and transmutation of our Inner Energy.
Taoist Inner Alchemy is concerned with transforming the substance of the Inner Energy of the human being, into a refined, pure and precious Quality of Energy - something which is True, Spiritual and Bright. This transformed energy, gathered to the Dantian is often termed the 'Elixir'. This transformation of the Inner Energy and Development of the Elixir, will give one health, healing, a long life, develop Inner Wisdom, Clarity, and bring one closer to Nature and the Great Tao. During our training on Koh Tao Island, we will learn the Foundation methods of Taoist Inner Alchemy Practice.

“I would highly recommend Jesse as a teacher...”
Jesse has an in depth understanding about not only the how but also the why when it comes to the Taoist Arts and Training. This makes for fun and interesting theory lessons, which give clarity and understanding to the Taoist Practices themselves.
I would highly recommend Jesse as a teacher, and I look forward to working with him more in the future.

“the TaoYoga Arts System has given me the foundation of Inner Peace for the first time in my life. ...”
I thought I had a pretty clear picture about what to expect from the trip to Thailand, and the TaoYoga Retreat, but I must say this trip gave me more then I ever could have hoped for or imagined.
Our resort was on the side of a mountain facing the dazzling beauty of the ocean - we practiced in an open air Yoga Shala, feeling the ocean, with the wind flowing through our hair.
Our Teacher Jesse carefully guided us, to face some of our inner sadness, stress or fear, which many of us carry around in our daily life - yet we were guided to let it all transform naturally and blossom into the flower of peace.
I have tried many things in my life, but I can say with an honest heart, that this truly is an Authentic Healing Art.
It was not something magical or unreal..
It was something true and raw - a connection to my very being. I can only describe it with one word - Happiness.
To be clear, the Retreat did not cure my troubles - but I was shown the way to the Medicine, and was given the tools i will need to get there.
I am more at peace now, I am happier and feel more complete In my practise and daily life, and I am so thankful for the gift of Taoist Practice, and for the friends and Tao Family I have met on this journey.

We will gather in the early morning before breakfast to begin our training in Inner Alchemy Meditation & the TaoYoga Arts System - Jesse will guide us through a series of traditional training methods to Awaken the Energy Centers, Open the Meridian System, and Cultivate Healing Energy.

TEACHER TRAINING MANUAL
We have compiled a truly amazing manual for this course training, that will also serve as a reflective journal for daily contemplation of Taoist Philosophy - the journal will continue after the tour, when you return home, so you may continue the work we began...
Energy Body
The study and exploration of the Energetic Body is a key theme and concept in the TaoYoga Arts System. The teachings of the Energy Body has been an oral tradition in most of the different Wisdom Traditions, and as a result, often we find incomplete teachings in modern times. We have created a unique teaching method, to give one a clear understanding on the Energetic System, and its relation to the Physical Practice and Technique.
Teacher Training Manuals
During our period of teaching in Japan for over 9 years, we have organised and complied a wide variety of our teachings in print form, and all of this has been put into our manuals with a lot of love. Diagrams of the Energetic Body, Taoist Yoga Theory and Principle, and the Principles of Taoist Cosmology. We have taken the Oral Tradition of the Taoist Path, and organised the teachings in a modern way, to shed light, wisdom and understanding.
Tao Life Journal
A key part of our Training Manual is the activity of daily journal writing and contemplation. We have compiled key sections from Taoist Philosophy to stimulate contemplation and self reflection - which will help to inspire your reflective journal writing. Journal writing is very important as we develop the ability of 'Self Observation', and 'Self Reflection' - which are very important skills as we begin to gain deeper awareness of our Inner Self.
February 9 - Graduation
We will gather in the early morning before breakfast to begin our training in Inner Alchemy Meditation & the TaoYoga Arts System - Jesse will give a special teaching and transmission on this morning, our last training session together. We will have a final question and answer session with students, and then will have a special breakfast celebration, with wonderful fruits, teas and celebrate this journey we experienced together as a group. We will present the Graduating Students with their Certificates at this time, and also present parting gifts of stone amulets we made by hand for the students to take home to remember this special time together. There will be a early and late afternoon boat shuttle back to Koh Samui, so members may make their way to the airport and return to their home country, to begin the new journey of Walking the Path as a TaoYoga Arts Instructor - sharing the Light of Tao with their friends, family and community....
ARE YOU READY...
“The experience with Jesse and the TaoYogaArts Community that met on Koh Tao, was simply amazing....”
Jesse's knowledge and experience both from his time in China and from his personal healing journey are incredibly profound. The teachings resonated deeply with me and surprised me in how elaborate and beautiful they were. The more I learned the more I wanted to learn, but rather than just consuming information, Jesse's approach to teaching is slow and gentle, allowing the learner to internalise rather than conceptualise.
For me the training with Jesse was the missing link in my personal practice - Taoist Yoga provided the central elements, provided the center. The teachings are authentic, coming from a long lineage tradition, and powerful, without being forceful or unnatural to the practitioner. The instructions and techniques seem simple but they gain depth the more one practices.
All in all I feel like I only scratched the surface of what the TaoYoga Arts System has to offer, but even that has made an enormous difference to my practice, adding clarity and centeredness. Hopefully more to come soon...
