SUMMARY:Cha Dao - The Way of Tea
DESCRIPTION:Cha Dao (茶道)\, the Way of Tea\, is more than just brewing and drinking tea—it is a practice of harmony\, mindfulness\, and connection to nature. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy\, Cha Dao embodies the balance of yin and yang\, the flow of Qi (life energy)\, and the simplicity of Zen thought. \nIn a traditional Chinese tea ceremony\, tea is prepared with graceful movements\, pure intention\, and deep respect for the elements. Using carefully selected living tea (naturally grown\, high-quality leaves)\, pure water\, and elegant teaware\, each infusion becomes a meditation—an opportunity to be present in the moment. Join us in exploring Cha Dao—where every cup is a journey. \nEach ceremony lasts approximately one hour. The suggested donation is $25\, made to the host at the time of the event. Registration closes 24 hours before each ceremony. For more information\, feel free to contact Greg Fellman directly at gregfellman@yahoo.com.
