After many years stateside, I’m heading back to China on October 5th. I’m excited about returning to Wu Dang and experiencing a Bei Dou (Honoring the Stars) ceremony. We’ll be going to some familiar places like the most beautiful Jiuzhaigou Park in Sichuan province as well as exploring many new places, temples, and traditions as we traverse the country from Shanghai to Chengdu to Wu Dang and then the group continues to Beijing. When the group goes to Beijing, I’ll be staying in Wu Dang to study with a ceremonial arts master.
I am going to try posting my journal entries while there, but, even with a private IP address, my website may be blocked from China. If that happens, I’ll post my notes after I return.
