"Thinking Body / Dancing Mind" Tao Sports Workshop

"Thinking Body / Dancing Mind" Workshop

This unique, 6-module workshop, was developed and narrated by sports psychologist Jerry Lynch, and Tai Chi Master Chungliang Al Huang. Based on their book, Thinking Body, Dancing Mind, Jerry and Chungliang dedicated the course to the spirit of Joseph Campbell, who, as a world-class runner, personified the Tao Athlete and recognized the significance of sport as a spiritual journey applicable to all aspects of life.

Thinking Body, Dancing Mind embodies a classic Tao paradox. It encourages us to think differently by juxtaposing opposites. Ancient Taoist master-teachers often used paradox and metaphor to open up their students’ minds to new ideas, new awareness, and profound understandings of deep forces and unseen interconnections.

“Thinking body, dancing mind” means that you have within you all that you need to be and do anything you desire.
