We gather together for 3 days in the AY^AM Tesuque desert Temple, to step into “The Way of Tea”,
to be steeped in the ceremony and wisdom of the Leaf.
Each morning we will begin silently with meditation and Tea followed by various wisdom talks on the practice and ceremony. We will break for lunch, sharing a meal together, and then regather in the afternoon to practice serving each other in groups.
No matter where you find yourself on your journey with Tea, this immersive time will be valuable ~ whether you are just beginning a practice or find yourself in service, we always have an opportunity to learn, refine, and begin again.
10 spaces available. All genders welcome.
~~~
Cha Dao "The Way of Tea" is a practice that comes from ancient Chinese lineage. It has been used since its discovery by the Daoists and Sages as a form of medicine and a way to cultivate awakened presence, sustaining long states of meditation. Tea is a plant teacher, a spirit of Nature, manifested through this Leaf and awakened by hot water. Used in ceremony, it is a dance between the elements, a sensory exploration of presence, where everything is connected by space. Tea meets us exactly where we are and gives exactly what is needed.
