SUMMARY:A Masterclass in Forest Garden Greenhouses with Jerome Osentowski: June 29th\, 2024

SUMMARY:Solstice Tea and Zen retreat: June 21-23\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:To fill our souls with a powerful Tea and listen to the aspen leaves flittering in the breeze. To feel that breeze softly flow around us and through us. To feel the mind expanding beyond our body\, into the trees\, and then beyond them… \nTo take this expansive stillness and hold it with the no-mind of Zazen such that it fuses\, at least for a time\, with our very being.  \nTo purify\, settle\, and see. \nThe sages have always known that nothing elevates a Tea session more than a transcendental natural setting. Through Tea we touch Nature. In the tranquility cultivated through harmony\, reverence\, and purity we find the divine. This the the Way of Tea. \nWhether you wish to begin a tea practice or deepen the one you have\, this weekend will be an exquisite and profound journey.  \n \nThis retreat brings two perennial traditions together to deepen one's practice\, whether a novice or someone who has long trod the path. There is a saying from our tea teacher\, “Zen and Tea are one flavor”. The mindfulness and insight of zen practice both inform and clarify our pouring of tea.  The combination of tea ceremony and zen in a beautiful natural setting is powerful medicine. \nWe will drink tea from our personal collections and teach about the provenance of living teas. \nWe are grateful to be hosting one of my favorite chajin to pour tea with us as a community.  This is an opportunity to join with skilled practitioners who are humbly learning and sharing their passion for the Way of Tea. Together\, we will drink tea with a beginner’s mind and receive with humility and grace the wisdom of the leaf. There is a legend of the Emperor Shen Nong\, who while sitting in nature had the leaves of a tea plant fall into a bowl of hot water. In many ways\, we still quietly follow in his footsteps. \n*Price includes farm-to-table\, gourmet meals cooked by an on-site chef\, and on-site camping with access to flush toilets and a shower.  Fruit and baked goods are provided in the morning. \n  \nFriday 5-8 pm\, Saturday 9-8 pm\, Sunday 9-7 pm. \n \nFriday   \n5-6:15 - Tea Ceremony: Bowl tea \n6:30-7:30 pm Dinner at Elkstone Farm \n7:30- 8:00 pm Evening Zazen  \n8:00 Close for the night \nSaturday \n9:00-9:40- Zazen  \n9:45-10:15- Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:15-1200 Tea Ceremony: Sidehandle \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-3:30- Zazen and Tea \n3:30-5- Extended break/wander/practice period \n5-6:30- Tea Ceremony \n6:30-7:30- Dinner \n7:30-8:00- Zazen \n  \nSunday \n9:00-9:40- Zazen  \n9:45-10:15- Physical/embodiment exercise \n10:15-1200 Tea Ceremony: Gong-fu \n12:00-1:00- Lunch \n1:00-1:30- Zazen \n1:30-3- Extended break/wander/practice period \n3-4:30- Tea Ceremony \n5:00-6:00 Dinner \n6:00-7:00- Closing circle for weekend/Bringing it home \n  \nYour facilitators: \n \n  \nStephan has walked in the Way of Tea since meeting Global Tea Hut’s Wu De in 2016. He has studied with Wu De at the Tea Sage Hut and several other locations\, including hosting Wu De in Boulder three times. He financed the construction of Boulder Tea Hut’s Sunshine Springs Teahouse and co-founded Boulder Tea Hut in 2023. He is an avid collector of antique oolongs\, ginbin\, and tetsubin. \nStephan is a father of two rambunctious little boys (who occasionally join him for tea)\, speaks Mandarin\, has lived and traveled extensively across Asia\, and by day helps develop a sizable multinational business empire.  \n  \n\nMarco Chung-Shu Lam is a curious and compassionate human being who has a passion for health\, the environment and the ability of humans to create a better world. He has practiced Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture for over 25 years and is lauded to have a unique style of practice that accelerates his clients breakthroughs in both physical and cognitive arenas. Practicing internal martial arts for over 30 years has deeply informed his relationship with tea. His zen teacher\, Jun Po Roshi\, bestowed the name Yakuso to him\, which means the healing source in Japanese. Marco’s style of tea pouring centers around family and community. His main teacher of tea was his grandmother\, An Chin Lin\, who believed that serving tea was a way to share your love with other people. Marco believes the same. Along with his wife\, Jamie\, he is the steward and farm manager of Elkstone Farm.
