Zhen Dao (aka Zhenzan Dao) is the founder of the Daoist-based practice tradition of MogaDao. MogaDao encompasses 5 disciplines: MogaDao Qigong, MogaDao Yoga, MogaDao Gongfu, Empty Sky Meditation, and MogaDao Sacred Daoist Sexuality.

Additionally, there are two interdisciplinary programs within MogaDao:the Depth Sexology and the Erotic Basis of Being Program, which enlarges the scope of human sexuality into broader considerations of eros that include the sociopolitical, the ecological, the creative, and the imaginative realms of being, and the Heartmind Warrior Training Program, which uses spiritualized MogaDao martial arts training (physically non-rigorous) to develop extraordinary sensitivity, compassion, tenderness, mutual dependency, and self-awareness.

Zhen Dao, who is transgender, is also a poet, novelist, and writer on a wide variety of spiritual, philosophical, and cultural subjects, and the director of the theater company SACRA: Immanence Theater. They live deep in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico and teach all of the MogaDao disciplines each week at The MogaDao Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

MogaDao derives from no prior culture in particular, but antecedents of MogaDao might be found in aspects of the Samurai culture of Japan, with its emphasis on martial training, poetry, and theater; in the artistic Chan and Daoist culture of the Tang Dynasty, with its emphasis on refinement of movement and thought, meditation, and the healing arts; in the Greek School of Athens of Western antiquity, with its emphasis on intellectual camaraderie and ethics in society; and in the Jungian school of the twentieth and twenty-first century, with its foundation in archetype and mythopoetic consciousness.
