In 1978 Grandmaster Alex Anatole founded the Center of Traditional Taoist Studies (originally The New England Center of Tao) near Boston. He established close ties to established temples in Shanghai, China.

The temple houses a wide collection of Taoist Deities, as well as, perhaps, the only Hall of Celestial Foxes (Chinese: Huxian, Japanese:kitsune, Korean: kumiho) in the United States.

The temple offers traditional Taoist teachings including the philosophical teachings of the Tao Te Ching, meditation, qigong, as well as the esoteric disciplines of The Celestial Fox Creed.
