The curriculum offered is called Daology (in Chinese, Dào Dé Gōng Fǎ 道德功法 or “Gong Fa” for short), which is an alchemical system to encourage both personal transformation and relational intelligence. It is integrated by Dr. Paul C. Wang based on the essence of martial, medical, and mystical lineages, concepts, and practices.
Gong Fa has inner and outer aspects that can be applied to your daily life:
Internal cultivation (Nei Gong Fa 內功法) hones your intention, emotion, action via individual training in standing, sitting, sleeping, strolling states.
External cultivation (Wai Gong Fa 外功法) tones your muscle, tendon, bone via partner training in linear, circular, spiral, global flows.
The following events present aspects of Gong Fa around specific themes. Details may change so please check back often for updates:
