1. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

Our meditation sessions, Ryutai Moji workshops, sound sessions, journals, 369 Dragon Mist and written content are offered for personal wellness, cultural enrichment and community support. Nothing on this website is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, psychological counseling, or legal or financial advice. Please seek a qualified professional for those needs.
