Rev Billy Woods
Wandering Abbot of Spirit Gate Temple
Billy studied the Dao Dan Pai system (See Lineage/Teachers). He teaches workshops in Qi Gung and Tai Chi, and is also a professional drummer, performing at venues across the United States. By giving foundational instruction to folks who are not familiar with these forms (and to those with more advanced understanding), Billy shares his reverence for rhythm and a desire to open us to the higher good. This happy confluence of drummer and Daoist Abbot allows Billy to perform/teach his unique blend of mindfulness/playfulness.
Billy’s began playing drums nightclubs in 1958 while he was still in high school. Summers you’ll find him on the concert stages at venues across the USA, performing “The Peace is Possible Suite”, as the opening prayer at music festivals like Front Porch Fest, Elevation Belly Dance, The Starwood Festival, Darbukastani Independence Day and others (see his website BillyWoods.com for bio, photos, free downloads of his recordings, YouTube videos, class schedules and tour dates).
