Paving the Way for the Dao in the USA 

Join us in paving the way for the DAO in the USA by buying bricks for the Path of Blessings at the new Daoist Association USA Temple at Aspen Lodge, Estes Park, Colorado.

Funds from the sale of the bricks will pay for Phase I renovations required to make the property a functioning Daoist educational complex.

Phase I includes the installation of a gate, a new Ba Gua Pavilion,  Zhen Wu and Kuan Yin statues, and renovations for guest housing, and the healing center are expected to cost $200,000.  The Brick Campaign will fund Phase I.
