INTERNATIONAL TAOIST SOCIETY

The International Taoist Society preserves and shares the Lee family Taoist arts through dedicated training at Sea Cloud Hall, fostering a living tradition that supports personal growth and community connection for future generations.

Supporting the Kitchen ProjectWe are seeking to raise &pound;10,000 to complete this phase. Nourishing Practice, Community and Cultural ExchangeSea Cloud Hall was established as a permanent home for the study and practice of Taoist arts &mdash; a place of cultivation, learning and shared life. An essential part of that shared life is the kitchen. In Taoist tradition, food is not separate from practice. Seasonal eating, shared meals, tea after training, and hospitality for visitors&nbsp;are all part of the culture we are seeking to preserve and pass on. As Sea Cloud Hall grows, we are now working to properly equip the kitchen so that it can support: <ul data-editing-info='{"applyListStyleFromLevel":true}' fr-original-style="list-style: disc; margin-top: 0px;
