Our Approach to Collaboration

Our collaborations are rooted in depth, integrity, and continuity. Rather than short-term or promotional initiatives, we focus on meaningful partnerships that support education, research, and cultural dialogue.

Each collaboration is developed carefully, with respect for both scholarly standards and traditional lineages, and aligned with the long-term mission of Taoist-Lifestyle.

Who We Collaborate With

We work with selected partners in the following domains:

  • Academic & Research Institutions
    Universities, scholars, and research centres engaged in Daoist studies, Chinese philosophy, history, medicine, or related disciplines.

  • Cultural & Heritage Organizations
    Museums, libraries, foundations, and cultural institutes dedicated to philosophical, spiritual, or historical heritage.

  • Educational & Training Platforms
    Academies and institutions offering structured education in philosophy, movement, embodiment, or consciousness studies.

  • Practice-Based Organizations
    Carefully selected partners in movement, health, and mind-body disciplines, where collaboration supports mutual depth and professional integrity.

Selected Collaborations

Embassy of the Free Mind

An internationally recognised centre for philosophical and spiritual heritage, research, and public education. Taoist-Lifestyle collaborates with EFM on educational programmes, lectures, and interdisciplinary initiatives.

VNC logo

The Netherlands-China Association brings China closer: through information, dialogue, and connections.

 

VNC is an independent, active association dedicated to sharing knowledge and networks in cultural, business, and educational areas to foster better dialogue and cooperation between the Netherlands and China. We do this through meetings and publications for both members and non-members.

What We Offer in Collaboration

Depending on the nature and scope of the partnership, collaboration may include:

  • Co-creation of educational programmes and lecture series

  • Joint events, symposia, or conferences

  • Academic and textual research support

  • Cultural and philosophical exchange initiatives

  • Contribution to publications or curated content

  • Long-term programme development

All collaborations are shaped in dialogue and aligned with the values and standards of both parties.

A Thoughtful and Selective Process

We approach collaboration as a long-term commitment rather than an open call. Not every proposal will be suitable, and we appreciate well-considered inquiries that demonstrate clarity of intent and alignment with our work.
