Cha Dao, “The Way of Tea” is a practice that comes from the depth of Chinese culture and from the Taoist practices of relating to nature as medicine. The ancient Taoists and sages use tea as both plant medicine and as a path to cultivate awareness and to deepen one's mediation practice. Tea is one of the most accessible plant teachers and as a gentle spirit, it can guide you into a more powerful and centered relationship with nature. Join us for a gentle and powerful ceremony among the changing aspens where we will drink tea, meditate and enjoy nature together.
Led by Marco Chung-Shu Lam, who is both our amazing farm manager and runs an integrative medicine clinic in Boulder.

He has a deep love of tea and will be sharing from his personal collection of both aged sheng pu-erhs and a wild red tea in this session.
