Grand Master Nan Lu
Tao of Healing

In 1995, Grand Master Nan Lu along with Ellen Schaplowsky had a vision to establish an organization that would merge ancient wisdom with modern science. Their goal was to share these teachings with practitioners to effect a change in health outcomes.

As medical doctors, nurses, acupuncturist, psychologists, teachers, business professionals, and lay persons engaged in the foundation’s programs, their passion to share this healing wisdom grew. They now make up the workforce that supports the foundation’s initial purpose.

The result today is a body of educational programs, curricula, and activities to help everyone discover their own healing abilities and the effect of consciousness on the body, mind, and spirit. This work helps people live consciously aware of their lives.

For more than 25 years, the foundation has served as a leading nonprofit organization engaged in promoting the wisdom of Taoist philosophy and the body-mind-spirit, self-healing knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. It focuses on TCM’s comprehensive system and its Five Element Consciousness framework — by-products of a profound spiritual practice. Above all, the foundation seeks to help individuals recognize that each of us creates our own reality and healing is in our hands.
