    I used to live mainly in Sri Lanka and Malaysia during my years as a Buddhist Monk so we never had any winters to contend with.
    But I can feel the serenity and silence of your video and it brings me back to being woken before sunrise by the gong and spending days and weeks in silence together with reading books in candlelight instead of binge-watching RUclips before going to bed ;)
    Another masterpiece, thank you George!

    Hey thanks for opening up this comment!
    I’d like to tell you more about the story of the Taoist Wellness Online, Master Gu’s Online Academy. How the Academy started is quite a funny story 🙈.
    We could never have imagined that today we are now the biggest Tai Chi school IN THE WORLD!
    It all began when I was 3 years into my journey living with Master Gu in his mountainous Tai Chi School.
    Master Gu is fluent in English and has always seen it as his life mission to share the healing Taoist arts of Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Meditation with the world. He shared with me his vision to create not only online courses, but an online Academy.
    I was excited by this vision and shared how I could use my filmmaking and inter-web skillz to make it happen.
    We then had a cup of tea and Master Gu sang Chinese opera while playing the guitar… 🤠☯
    We are really proud of what we have built. We now are a 16-person team from 7 countries and we are on a mission to create films, communities and transformative education to help people and planet live in balance.
    The Online Academy is one of the best ways you can help us on our mission and you get so much learning!
    If you become a student of the online Academy, you get:
    - Access to 100+ hours of teaching with Master Gu, recorded with love from the heart of China.
    - Learn with him in forests, caves and temples - all from the comfort of your own home.
    - An awesome student community! With regular online meet-ups.
    - Monthly livestreams with George and Master Gu
    - A (new) Taoist Wellness App so you can learn easily on the go.
    Best of all you can start for free with Master Gu’s free wellness wisdom course. 70,000 people have completed it so far.
    Click the link below to start learning for free, and see for yourself why so many people are getting excited! 💪
    👉👉 www.taoistwellness.online/free-course
    Happy learning!
    With love,
    George 🌎🫶☯
