About the Logo
The Taiji
Tao logo is a symbolic model of cultural intelligence based on traditional teaching
stones from Asia-Pacific cultures: notably nephrite jade and black and red argillite.
The teaching stones are used to convey cultural intelligence. They represent
dynamic interactions portrayed by Asia-Pacific cosmologies showing a fiery red
earth beneath a black sky; with the blue green jade representing living waters
and growing plants. The circular shape of the logo represents the sun-earth
phoenix with a white moon inside reflecting the changing tides of human knowledge
for the living waters that sustain life on earth.
Taiji Tao is
the living Dao. Neither a religion nor an abstract philosophy, Taiji Tao is a practical set of principles for achieving social
harmony in sustainable communities. Taught by Kung Zi to his students 2500 years
ago (his name Latinises to Confucius) Taiji Tao is
the practical and applied, every day living Dao providing our main inspiration
and focus.
What is
Tai ji Tao CARDO
Tai
ji Tao CARDO is a not for profit community and
regional development organisation implementing international principles for
sustainable development, sustainable communities and environmental protection
(UN Agenda 21). Taiji Tao teaching and training methods
and our research and development programs acknowledge and promote the traditional
cultural intelligence of Asia-Pacific people.
In our programs, scientific knowledge
is integrated with the cultural intelligence developed by Asia-pacific cultures
over millennia. Cultural intelligence is communicated by the language of the
universe (songs, dances and symbols). While scientific knowledge relies on alpha
numeric literacy and analytic thinking skills. Cultural intelligence and scientific
knowledge are integrated in our programs.
DAO SYMBOLIC LOGIC # SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGIES
Before engaging trainees in Dao symbolic logic and more difficult
disciplines developing Dao cultural intelligence, they are taught the basics
of Dao analogue mapping and modelling for watersheds and other landscapes.
Advanced Taiji Tao students can study
The Dao de Jing approach to natural farming and sustainable development.
In this method the key focus is farming living water flowing through the landscape.
Prognostic Yi Jing methodology for exploring the dynamics of complex
systems; this method has entered modern science as
Taiji, pak-wah
and luo pan for mapping and modelling landscapes: these tools underlie the integrated
Dao craft and science of Feng-Shui (the landscape school).
Taiji Tao personal skills training
and capacity building programs are designed to provide you with the skills and
capabilities needed for you to assume full responsibility for your life and
livelihood. In all our programs Taiji Tao works from
heuristic learning-by-doing exercises to practical and applied projects. Turning
problems into prospects is our CARDO’s mission. Creating intelligent solutions
to intractable problems is our special talent.
