Tao of the heart
The world is full of dualities - opposites that seem to have nothing in common, with each other. Yet each extreme has the other extreme inherent in it . In order to live harmoniously in the world, we have to find a way of reconciling the opposites, and realise the non-dual center. Tao, explores different aspects of these dualities, in the journey to the seat of the soul :
-
Yin and Yang
-
Matter and Spirit
-
Ego and Self
-
Logic and Intitution
-
Himsa and Ahimsa
-
Stillness and Flow
Showcasing a range of traditional and contemporary styles, from the elegance of the Indian classical dances to the serenity of yoga, from the energy of flamenco to the fluidity of Tai Chi.
