Summer Retreat Teaching Schedule

	Senior Universal Tao Instructors
About twenty years ago, in intensive retreat, Minke de Vos and Christer Ekstrom experienced profound Kundalini awakenings. The force, magnitude, and insight of the arousals triggered a transformational process. Their spontaneous revelations of our subtle and universal nature is affirming of ancient and perennial wisdom. Discovering the internal research of Taoists in the form of the recently evolved Universal Tao System has allowed these gifted individuals to guide others into greater well-being, clarity and freedom.
	Minke de Vos  Inner Alchemy Instructor, B.F.A., has studied and worked professionally for over 22 years in body/mind disciplines including dance, Feldenkrais, Shiatsu, Acupressure and diet. She received her four year Eurythmy diploma in 1982 from the Nurnberg Eurythmy School in Germany. She is presently living and teaching in Vancouver. For a more detailed biography. Minke tells her account of her Dark Room Kan & Li retreat at Tao Garden, Thailand. See article Light in the Darkness, Visionary Alchemy.
	David Gyurkovics Universal Tao Instructor, has studied and practiced Taoist internal arts for 12 years. He is a practitioner of Medical Qigong and Acutonics Sound Healing. He teaches people how to breathe as the basis for healthy living.

"Over the last eighteen years, what has impressed me most about Christer Ekstrom and Minke de Vos is the dedication and intensity of their practice. Their substantial experience in the beginning to advanced practices is a valuable asset to the Universal Tao. The high quality of their teaching is noticeable in their students. I strongly recommend their Universal Tao retreats."   Master Mantak Chia -Taoist Master
