The Art of Letting Go (Taoism Documentary)
February, 2012, my wife, Gayoung, and I were moving back to Asia after two years in Australia. We had no plan. We just wanted to let go of our lives and return to Asia permanently. The Art of Letting Go is a full-length documentary that follows us for one year on an amazing journey of uncertainty and extraordinary wonder anyone can experience when control is relinquished. As Lao-tzu explains in the Tao Te Ching, "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving."

I love sharing it with you my dear friend. Yes, the simple life is the fulfilling life.
Having spent a couple of months in India all of 43 years ago, I can see from your excellent documentary that thankfully it has hardly changed. I now live happily and humbly in South East Asia, a part of the world where I think it is not so difficult to explore the art of letting go. Your film has sparked my interest in Taoism so many thanks.

Thanks Jason Gregory, just finished this video - enjoyed the Indian and Norwegian parts the most!
My mother is from Tiruvannamalai. It's a lovely town whose way of life somehow subtly embraces the spiritual element. There's a constant influx of travelers, rich and poor, in pursuit of a bigger dimension. This lends the town a welcoming, adaptive, and dynamic outlook. So happy to see the place in your videol! Much love! :)

What a beautifully done documentary. I watched this as soon as I got home from a beautiful quiet nature walk, thru the High Desert Joshua trees. Great scenery in your production. Taoisim and nature go hand in hand. Hope you were able to get out of Dodge for awhile. I might be going for a visit to India with a friend who came from that country 2 years ago. Cheers Brother

Loved this, Jason! I've been wondering: which of your books describes (in detail) your own awakening?
Jason thanks mate for such a very special experience. I now know your friend's name, or should I say wife "Gayoung". I truly appreciate your content, it is guiding me where I need to go in my journey. I feel the beauty of the land of Asia. Thanks again to you both. 💙✌️😀

Many thanks, my friend, to you and Gayoung for this beautiful film. After hearing your conversations on surrender and pilgrimage and your experiences in India, I was hoping you might share some more of those experiences and stories. So appreciative that you did from your year and travels there, and also Norway, England, Nepal, Thailand, and of course, your bedroom in the Moscow airport! 😊 Truly, the year unfolded by letting go. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Do you do psychedelics Jason? As I you had been psychedelic festival😍
Interesting to see these special places... but unfortunately I cannot watch the film as it is too unstable filming :-( I feel dizzy after watching a few minutes... More stable filming than it would be great to watch.... As these are great insides...
How does one truly convert to Taoism and be considered one?
great documentary, i watched full video❤️
Jason what is your source of income. How do you earn.
Showing india to indian people in the name of taoism is great business bro

Most definitely.
Asia is way better than Australia. Europe even more so. I am curious about why so many social models have a dichotomy between pragmatism and spiritualism. Would not the best social models unite the two? I believe that if we really want empowered change, we must look beyond currencies that put prices on our heads. Any worthwhile currency must be based on the work of the people, and on regarding this as a true exchange of energy, that currency must be free to use: no tax, fees, costs. Add to this a ‘bank’ that pays for education and infrastructure, and we have a currency that values creating experiences to empower the most people in the most sustainable way possible. :) Search buxxb on Facebook, and BUXB on the P2P wiki to find out more.
