Mission Statement

At its core, One Pine Institute teaches wellness practices such as meditation, spiritual training, body movement, and more. The material builds upon Western and Eastern practices such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, healing modalities such as Qigong and T’ai Chi, as well as long-established European traditions of Herbs, Oils, and nature-based practices. One Pine Institute is built upon the foundational concept of extending compassion to help ease the suffering of others.

About This Cause
One Pine Institute has three programs as part of its overall mission > Living Masters Workshops, lectures, and symposiums by the great living Masters and Grandmasters of various spiritual and Internal Arts traditions so that they can share their expertise and make sure that these authentic lineages and practices continue into the future for others. > Caring Communities Workshops on meditation, T’ai Chi, Qigong, and other health practices for underserved communities who might not otherwise have the financial or physical means to pursue them: the elderly with fixed incomes and living in assisted care facilities and senior centers; under-represented people within the community at large; individuals diagnosed with medical condition who are straddled with medical bills and any supplemental treatments are out of reach; and inmates incarcerated within the prison system. > Purposeful Living Educational programs and lectures that help individuals enrich their lives through understanding the history and principles of various spiritual and philosophical practices and how those practices provide tools for self-definition and exploration. History One Pine Institute grew out of Founder and Executive Director, Dr. David Clippinger’s spiritual work as a fully ordained Ch’an (Zen) Buddhist Priest with the Dharma name of Venerable Shih Tao-Fa as well as his long-standing T’ai Chi and Chi Kung Studio—Still Mountain T’ai Chi and Chi Kung, LLC., of Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Clippinger wanted to find a way to share health and healing practices with a broader population, and from that mission to find a way to serve the larger community, One Pine Institute was born in 2017.
