365 Tao Book Club: What do I need?

I’m stoked to invite you to join the 365 Tao Book Club. This project is close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share the daily wisdom of 365 Tao by Deng Ming-Dao with the community. 

This book club will run for 365 days, offering you daily prompts for journaling. To participate, all you need are a few simple tools that will enrich your experience and help you stay connected to the practice.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

1. A Copy of 365 Tao by Deng Ming-Dao
   This book is the cornerstone of the club. You can find it wherever you typically buy books—whether online or in a brick-and-mortar store. I personally like to purchase gently used books.

2. A Dedicated Journal
   Choose a journal that is solely dedicated to this practice. I recommend picking something that feels good in your hands, easy to carry, and inspiring to write in. Personally, I love Moleskine journals—they’re portable, durable, and timeless. But feel free to select one that resonates with you.

3. A Pen You Love
   Your pen is the bridge between your thoughts and the page. Mindfully choose one that feels comfortable and enjoyable to write with. The act of journaling should feel as natural and fluid as possible.

4. A Travel Bag for Your Tools
   I like to keep everything together in a small bag that travels with me—my journal, my pen, and my copy of 365 Tao. My current bag is a handmade treasure from my travels in Guatemala. Whether you use something you already have or find a special new bag, choose one that feels meaningful and functional for you.

Why Do These Tools Matter?

Your journal, pen, and book are more than just items—they’re tools that will anchor your practice. By selecting them with intention, you’re curating what you need to assist your reflection, growth, and learning.

What is the 365 Tao Book Club?

This isn’t just a Book Club, it’s a daily ritual, a creative practice, and a community of like-minded individuals seeking clarity and balance in their creative lives. Together, we’ll explore the timeless wisdom of 365 Tao by Deng Ming-Dao, a book that blends ancient philosophy with modern relevance.

Here’s how it works:

1. Morning Routine
   Start each day with me as I read the passage from 365 Tao LIVE on my Instagram Subscription page. These readings will become a daily practice that will inspire your creativity for the day ahead.
2. Daily Journaling Prompts
   Following each reading, I’ll provide a journaling prompt to inspire you to set a daily intention through the power of the written word.
3. Exclusive Content
   This is a subscription based community, so you'll have exclusive access to content I create and share with the community.

Why Should I Join?

The 365 Tao Book Club is more than just a subscription, it’s a commitment to yourself. By participating, you’ll:

• Build a consistent daily practice inspired by mindfulness + creativity.
