SUMMARY:Tea Ceremony in the Greenhouse with Marco Chung-Shu Lam\, May 28th\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a tea ceremony in our beautiful four season greenhouse. Drink tea in a grove of citrus and fig trees\, flowers and herbs\, while the cold weather is brewing outside. We will be sharing traditional bowl tea in the Cha Dao style of tea ceremony. Marco will share a bit about tea practice and there will be time after to relax in the greenhouse. \nCha 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. \nLed by Marco Chung-Shu Lam\, who is one of our farm managers and also runs an integrative medicine clinic in Boulder. He is a skilled practitioner of internal martial arts\, acupuncture and herbalism who has practiced in Colorado for over twenty years. He has a deep love of tea and will be sharing from his personal collection of both aged shou pu-erhs and an exquisite oolong in this session.

SUMMARY:Book Club Dinner: The Serviceberry:  March 6th\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:This is the first of our more conversational family-style dinners at the farm.    We are excited to present an evening that nourishes us with good food from the farm while engaging in a deeper community experience.  Our farm manager\, Marco Lam\, will be facilitating the discussion. \nRobin Kimmerer's new book\, The Serviceberry\, is a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude\, reciprocity\, and community\, based on the lessons of the natural world. It's about indigenous wisdom\, how we want to live\, what we value\, how we want to be in relation\, and whether we can imagine and cultivate a system that nurtures mutual well-being and flourishing. \nThe book is an easy\, short read and the 128 pages can easily be read in the evening.  Please read the book beforehand and come prepared to be in dialogue about the book with your neighbors.   Several of us on the farm are reading the book and attending. \nChef Russell will make a family-style dinner which will be followed by a serviceberry dessert!
