Supporting the growth of Taoism

Thank you for considering joining the International Taoist Society. Your contributions are vital to the running of the organisation and make it possible for us to run classes, courses and special events as well as supporting the establishment of the Sea Cloud Temple and helping us to give more people the opportunity to learn and benefit from the Daoist Arts.

In the past we had a set fee for being a member of the ITS. Now people have asked for the option to make regular donations and so we don't have a set price for becoming a member.

You can choose from the options below depending on your personal circumstances and how much you would like to support our work.

Of course, being a member does open up certain opportunities that are not open to non-members. For example, opportunities to attend courses run by Laoba and Laoma at venues around the world, annual assessments of your development within the Taoist Arts, invitations to attend special workshops when we host visiting Taoists from China and the possibility of being invited on the Taoist Trail trips to China.

Joining also grants you access to comprehensive video lessons covering the 9th Ban Syllabus in both the Yin and the Yang Arts.

Please scroll down and select how you would like to contribute to the ITS so we can continue giving more people opportunities to learn and benefit from the taoist culture. Thank you.
