Returning to the Tao
The first Immortal Sisters Conference was held at the Menla Retreat Center in Phoenicia, New York in 2017. Its mission was to gather together women practitioners and enthusiasts of Qigong and Taoist spirituality to inspire, learn, empower and share the ancient wisdom of “Returning to the Tao”. Returning to the Tao means returning to harmony and balance personally as well as with nature and our communities. Close to 100 women were in attendance!
