Taoism
Rooted in the wisdom of ancient China and in the teachings of Laozi, a sage believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE, Taoism is centered around the concept of the Tao, or “The Way.” Taoism is a philosophy that encourages living in harmony with the natural flow of life – the Tao, or 'The Way.' It is not about strict rules or doctrines but about embracing simplicity, surrendering control, and allowing life to unfold with grace.
