Relationships and relationality in early DaoismWhat does it mean to be in a relationship—with another person, with ourselves and with the world around us? Early Daoism understands a relationship not merely as a connection between two individuals, but as an ongoing process of interweaving and responding within an ever-changing world.In our discussion, we will explore how early Daoist texts speak about relationality, mutual influence, attunement and unforced action. What does it mean to be with another person without trying to control or change them? How can we remain in a relationship while preserving our autonomy? And what can a Daoist perspective offer us in understanding our everyday relationships?The discussion will be an opportunity to explore together questions that mattered several thousand years ago and remain just as relevant today.First discussion of the new season:Wednesday, 23 September 2026, at 7:00 pmJoin us for the discussion.

Dao De Tianzun is one of the Three Pure Ones, or Three Clear Ones (Sanqing). He represents the principle of the teacher. One of his manifestations in this world is Laozi, the presumed author of the foundational Daoist work Daode jing 道德经 (Classic of the Way and Its Power), often translated as Book of the Way and Virtue. He is said to have written it as he was leaving the Kingdom of Chu, just before withdrawing from public life.His birthday is celebrated on the 15th day of the 2nd lunar month. This year, that falls on April 2.
