Nathan Brine – Taoist Alchemy Level 1: Foundation

Nathan Brine – Taoist Alchemy Level 1: Foundation is an introductory course focused on the principles and practices of Taoist alchemy. The program covers the foundational aspects of Taoist philosophy and its application in personal transformation and spiritual development. It includes teachings on energy cultivation, meditation techniques, and exercises aimed at harmonizing mind, body, and spirit. The course is designed to provide a solid grounding in Taoist alchemy, helping participants understand and integrate its practices to enhance their overall well-being and spiritual growth.

Nathan began Taoist practice in 1997, immersing himself in Taoist temple arts, martial arts, meditation, internal work (neigong), energy work (qigong), and internal alchemy. For several years Nathan lived in China and trained full-time with a number of masters, as well as learning Mandarin Chinese. Afterwards, Nathan returned to Canada to pursue academic study of Taoism, where he received an honours degree in Asian Languages and Culture and worked towards an MA at the University of British Columbia, extending his knowledge of Classical Chinese and the Taoist canon. After meeting Wang Liping, Nathan left graduate school and devoted himself wholly to learning Taoist alchemy. In 2015 Wang Liping authorized Nathan to teach and write a series of books detailing Dragon Gate alchemy.
