The Tao Garden Health Spa & Resort and the Pakua Holistic Medical Center
Tao Garden Health Spa & Resort is the home of Grand Master Mantak Chia and is located in northern Thailand's largest and most culturally significant city, Chiang Mai, in the verdant foothills of the Himalayas
Every year, Tao Garden hosts retreats where students learn Taoist practices and Universal Healing Tao® Instructors are certified.
The Pakua Holistic Medical Center at Tao Garden fuses the ancient Far Eastern arts such as Taoism, Ayurvedic massage and Acupuncture, as well as many other health-promoting and rejuvenating methods derived from the ancient Chinese five-element healing principles, with the state-of-the-art practices of Western holistic medicine.
Red Earth Bricks at Tao Garden
All buildings and pathways in Tao Garden are made of red earth bricks specially designed by Grand Master Chia. The red bricks are made from Thailand's natural red earth, which has been pressed into red bricks using an energy-efficient pressing and drying process.
Numerous watercourses and ponds contribute to the unique climate of the Tao Garden on the 20-hectare site. Carefully selected plantings ensure the absence of mosquito infestations. The natural spirit of Tao permeates the outer and inner forms of this unique place everywhere. In order to be healthy, one must learn to balance the harmonious and disharmonious forces within himself. The same applies to the outside world, in this case the enchanting Tao Garden.
