Community Tea Meditation

Tea is what they call a spirit tonic. It opens the heart and brightens the eyes. It was a medicine for thousands of years before people thought of it as a beverage. Today we access those healing qualities tea has to offer by drinking with intention. 

Cha Dao, which translates to ‘the way of tea,’ is a Chinese practice based on the Daoist beliefs of gratitude, balance, harmony, and connection to nature. When we practice Cha Dao, it's an intuitive, sensory experience, a dance between elements: wind on a mountainside where the tea was grown, rain, the sun and moonlight that nourished the plant, the water used to steep your leaves, the clay from the earth that formed your bowl. 

Join us for Leaves in a Bowl, a guided tea meditation in the spirit of Cha Dao.
