Our Organization

Founded in 1980 in the United States, SunDo has expanded throughout Europe and Asia. In 1997, we incorporated as a non-profit. SunDo has now grown to become a world-wide organization. Leaders devote a significant amount of time teaching the practice and principles of Taoism at various practice centers. Also, in 1997, we purchased land in northern Vermont for the SunDo Healing Center, a meditation and retreat venue where members gather several times a year to focus on their practice.

SunDo is a 503(c)(3) tax-exempt, educational non-profit organization.
