How to Register

There are four different ways to register for a summer retreat.
All four ways are simple and easy:

1.Phone. If you have questions or need advice, our registrar can assist you in choosing the correct retreat(s) for you. Best to have a printout of the retreats list handy when you call.

2.Email your registration and $100. deposit for each retreat (or to buy products): info@healingdao.com

3.Internet. Register online on at this site. Just go to the “retreats descriptions” button and click on the code number in the left column (example: DM-0402). A special “retreat shopping cart” form will appear for registration.

Add as many retreats to the shopping cart as you like.

You can CHANGE YOUR CHOICE OF RETREAT at any time to this summer or the next summer WITHOUT PENALTY. (please notify us 30 days in advance)

Online registration will only charge you a $100. deposit per retreat. The balance must be paid by credit card, mailed check, bank wire or cash. Please read our Cancellation Policy and the conditions under which your deposit could be forfeited.

Please DO NOT DOUBLE-CLICK the final SUBMIT button, you may get charged twice. Be patient and wait for confirmation. If you don’t get it, call or email us and let us know what happened.

4. Postal Mail. Print out the Registration Form (click for download) and deposit and mail it to us at one of our two seasonal locations:

Don’t worry about filling out the registration form wrong using any of the above 4 methods. When you register in person at Dao Mountain, we will double check to make sure you have taken all discounts possible and that you get the lowest price possible.

Last minute registrations on retreats are accepted if there is space available. Call or email to find out.

Early Registration: Money Saving Tips

Register Early! The most important thing is that you reserve your space by sending in a $100. DEPOSIT for EACH course you want to take. The balance should be paid as soon as possible, and no later than 30 days before the retreat starts.

Space is limited! Secure your spot with 50% payment. You need to make at least 50% payment of total room & tuition 30 days in advance to reserve your space. Late payment could cause someone else to get your space on a popular retreat.

Pay in Full 60 Days early - it pays you back! You get an additional $20. REBATE off EACH full room & tuition payment made 60 days before the start of that course. This saving is beyond any other multiple discount or foreign/senior discounts. If you’re taking several courses, that adds up to a lot of savings.

Tuition & Discounts

Tuition is $440. for a 6-day (5-night) retreat, only $70. per day.

Tuition is $190. for a 2.5 -day (2-night) weekend retreat.

There are exceptions to these standard prices, noted in the list of retreats below.

If you take multiple retreats, the price goes even lower. Given the extraordinarily high quality of the faculty, it is truly a bargain.

The cost is kept low by support for Healing Tao University from its parent non-profit organization (501c3), the Dao Alchemy Research Institute. Your donations are greatly appreciated and 100% tax deductible. If you take a retreat, you may generally deduct 40% of the cost.

Room & board must be added to above tuition (see Housing & Meals) unless extended payment is arranged.

Tuition costs may be further offset by “Early Bird” bonuses if you register by April 30.

The other offset is claiming a tax deduction for any retreats taken from our non-profit 501c3 (40% deduction is general rule when “value” is received for contribution).

Special Category Discounts

$75. discount per week long retreat if you are:

 - a needy senior 63 & over.

$145. is the maximum total discount allowed off the base tuition per retreat, even when combining multiple and special category discounts. The only way to get an extra $20. discount is by pre-paying 60 days in advance.

No discounts of any kind on weekend courses.

Generous Extended Payment plans are available, please contact the office. There are also work study positions available (see Staff & workstudy program). Don’t let money stop you from following your path!

Housing & Meals

Rooms

Dao Mountain is wonderfully cozy, an intimate place in which you quickly feel at home. There are 33 rooms with 70 beds, mostly queen sized. All rooms are lovely, hotel quality – the center is used for corporate retreats when not in use by Healing Tao University. Most rooms are set naturally into the wooded landscape in semi-private cottages, with beautiful mountain and meadow views.

All rooms have a private bath, telephone & TV, heating and air conditioning, with a small surcharge for A/C use. You can plug your laptop computer in or use the high speed hookup in the main building. These accommodations are far superior to the large “summer camp” spiritual retreat centers found across the US.

Housing includes FREE use of pools (indoor & outdoor), two saunas, hot tub, tennis & basketball courts, horseshoes, and access to the 63 acres of rolling hills. Easiest to take short hikes on back country roads with little traffic, gorgeous views, and little chance of getting lost!

Meals

Meals are part of the housing package - three delicious meals daily, served banquet style. The cuisine is international, with offerings that vary between Italian, French, Cubo-hispanic, Asian, Mexican, California salad bar and other exotic dishes that may strike the chef’s fantasy.

You choose what suits your body and diet, with daily home-cooked fresh local vegetables, soups, grain & legumes, egg, fish and poultry dishes. Breakfasts include your choice of hot porridge & cold cereals, fruit juices, fresh local cantaloupes and melons. Occasionally there are blueberry pancakes or French toast.

Red meats are available for high protein diets on a short order basis, and cost extra).

Room & Board Packages

For 6 day retreat (5 nights):

Double room (& the few triples): $440. includes all meals.

Single room IF AVAILABLE: $640 ($40. nite extra).
Must prepay to hold a single. Includes all meals.

For 2.5 day Weekend (2 nights):

Double room is $185.

Single room is $265. (must prepay to reserve)

For rooms between retreats:

ROOM ONLY: $45. per night (double), $90. (single).
Meals are NOT SERVED between retreats.
You can get Chinese and Italian food delivered from nearby Pinebush.
If a small group of people orders meals in advance, Jeronimo may serve
meals at restaurant prices between retreats. Otherwise you need a car
to visit restaurants.

Important: book & PREPAY far in advance to guarantee extra nights between retreats. On days when no Healing Tao retreats are in progress, the rooms may be rented to others. Hotel are in high demand in the Catskills during the summer.

You may be forced between retreats to move out (by taxi, if you have no car) and stay in a more expensive hotel if you do not PREPAY for rooms between retreats. You may cancel your prepaid reservation for rooms between retreats without penalty 48 hours in advance.

Some people take a bus to NYC for the day(s) between retreats or go sightseeing elsewhere in the Hudson Valley. You can store baggage.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I stay at Dao Mountain without taking a course?

Yes, if there is space. You may come to do a private retreat and share meals at the same room & board package costs listed above. You must respect the quiet and schedules of those taking retreats.

2. Can I bring children?

Yes. Sometimes a spouse comes along to watch the child.
We cannot guarantee babysitters, although the chef has teenage daughters who may be willing to babysit. For older children, the area is safe to roam and play without supervision, with low (and very slow) traffic.

3. What should I wear/pack for Dao Mountain?

A suggested packing list will be sent to you after you register.
Generally it is an extremely comfortable summer climate, warm and Sunny by day (t—shirt/shorts) and cool at night (bring a sweater/jacket).

Keep track of your own time, $5. per half hour/ $3. per 15 minutes, pay directly to Jeronimo staff.

For housekeeping problems or medical emergency, call "O" from room. If no answer on "0", then reach owners Corky or K.C. at: 9 - 733 - 5352.

No one allowed in kitchen area at any time.

Bar is not open during retreats.
No alcohol or drug use permitted while on retreat.

Hiking: Please do not hike alone in woods, it is easy to get lost.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel for ANY reason, without re-scheduling a different retreat, the fee is $100. per retreat.

There is no penalty to change courses/dates before start of retreat. We strongly request that you make any changes 30 days in advance of retreat start, so we can plan meeting space size, etc. After retreat begins, you need permission from any instructor to transfer into their retreat. This generally must occur on the first day of the retreat, and only if someone realizes the course is truly not suitable for them.

EARLY CANCELLATION: If you cancel 30 or more days in advance, the rest of your deposit (whatever amount you’ve paid) is refundable (less $100.). You may cancel by letter, stamp-dated fax, email, or phone message and must clearly identify your name and retreat. We must RECEIVE your cancellation by midnite of the 30th day – its NOT WHEN YOU POSTMARK your letter.
We do NOT accept responsibility for technical difficulties in delivering your message unless they are caused by us (i.e. our answering machine is not working properly, etc.).

How to Keep the Early Cancellation date clear:

For all retreats with start dates in July, Early Cancellation must be on the same date in June. Example: July 5 start date, early cancel is by midnite June 5.

For all retreats with start dates in June or August, Early Cancellation must be maximum of one day later in May or July. Example: June 15 or August 15 start date, early cancel is by June 16 or Aug. 16 midnite (due to 31 days in preceeding month).

No refunds given after retreat starts. This applies to both housing and tuition. Occasionally credits for future retreats are granted for exceptional emergencies, such death-in-family or medical emergencies, at the discretion of Healing Tao USA. We will do everything reasonably possible to help you continue/finish the course at a future date.

LATE CANCELLATION: If you cancel less than 30 days before retreat starts:

Option A: DEPOSIT APPLIED TO FUTURE RETREAT. 100% of your paid deposit (less $100. cancel fee) is automatically credited to future retreats taken within 24 months (within next two cycles of summer retreats).

Option B: 50% CASH REFUND. If you don’t intend to take a future retreat within the next two summers (your best deal financially), you may request instead a 50% cash refund of the total cost of room/board + tuition due for that retreat. Payment will be made promptly to you.

If you have not paid 100% of that retreat at the time of cancellation in the last 30 days before retreat start, you still legally owe 50% of the total cost of that retreat. Even if you’ve signed an extended payment agreement or failed to pay that 50% in advance for some reason.

People who cancel late are naturally unhappy about this, but we assure you that 50% cancel fee is just to cover our overhead. Running a large retreat program is economically marginal at best, and becomes a losing proposition without long term planning stability to enable us to control costs of food, housing, marketing, staff and faculty. We rent the Dao Mountain facility for a hefty fee under certain performance expectations that do not allow us to underwrite last minute life changes to your plans.

Questions? Call registrar at 973-777-4442
or 888-999-0555 (from U.S.) or FAX: 973-777-3753
Email: info@HealingDao.com

Note: in summer time (usually around June 10-12) we forward all our phone lines and mail from our New Jersey office to our Dao Mountain retreat center, and back again around Aug. 25. These transfer periods may causes technical glitches or delays in responding to you.

Dao Mountain Staff & Workstudy Program

Healing Tao Staff

The founder and Director of Healing Tao University and the summer retreat program is Michael Winn. He coordinates the faculty and the programs and lives at Dao Mountain all summer to oversee its smooth operation. He teaches part of the core curriculum of chi kung and inner alchemy, sometimes with his partner and advisor Joyce Gayheart.

The Registrar and Retreat Manager is Karin Sorvik, who wears many hats. She is a Healing Tao Instructor, faculty member and full time employee of the non-profit (501c3) parent company, the Dao Alchemy Research Institute. We imported this Swedish-Dutch efficiency whiz from Argentina, and she is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. She is extremely knowledgeable about all the teachers and the retreat courses. She also manages the workstudy program.

The Assistant Retreat Managers this year are Rob Renahan and Sun.

Staff can be contacted at info@healingdao.com or telephone (see Contact)

Healing Tao Work-Study program

This program is designed to help subsidize course tuition for those who cannot otherwise afford to attend. Basically, you wash dishes three times a day in exchange for your room & board (see “Housing & meals” for the Current weekly costs of room & board. That is the dollar amount of your saving.

You still pay tuition and attend the full course training for that week, but the work study effectively reduces your cost by about 50%.

Apply for this program as early as possible, as different weeks get taken. Email the registrar at info@healingdao.com or call at 973-777-4442.

Jeronimo Center Staff

Healing Tao rents this center in the summer from Corky and Casey Jeronimo, who naturally call it Jeronimo Conference Center the rest of the year. Their family has owned this lovely Catskills conference center for over 40 years, with many new modern buildings added over time. The main meeting hall was built just three years ago, with solid windows on three sides surrounded by forest and meadows. The Jeronimos take pride in keeping it in immaculate condition and during retreats work fulltime to make sure your stay is comfortable and that you are well fed.

They are fun, casual, eclectic people with two friendly golden Labrador retrievers and a cat that roam the property. Occasionally some of their kids – Nick, Matt, or Alexandra - come back to help out at the center. This not like those big impersonal retreat centers with an invisible staff and changing faces every week. This is a place smothered with personal love and attention – everybody is on a first name basis. The Jeronimos love the interesting variety of the approximately 400 people who are attracted to our Tao retreats each summer. Their website is www.Jeronimo.com and features a video of the center.

The cook is Betsy, naturally the most important person on campus! And she knows it. She is a big-hearted Mama who dearly loves her little Taoist ducklings, even as she waves her big knife if they cross into her sacred territory. Her kids and tiny grand-daughter add to the multi-generational feeling of the place. The food she serves is international, eclectic, and delicious. Each meal is a buffet banquet so you can choose what suits your diet. Mostly importantly, the chi she puts into the food is filled with love.
