SUMMARY:Workshop - The Way of Tea: Cultivating a Personal Tea Practice
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. \n We will begin with a silent tea ceremony and then have a guided journey into the world of beginning a personal tea practice. We will go over the leaves in a bowl ceremony step by step so you may develop or deepen your home practice. Please bring your questions about tea and tea practice\, and we will co-explore together. You will go home with a tin of tea with which you can begin practicing. \n This workshop will be co-lead by Greg Fellman and Amelia Broughton. If you have any questions about it\, you may send an email to gregfellman@yahoo.com. \nCost for the workshop is $60. Please register here AND send $60 via Venmo to @Greg-Fellman. If you are being mindful of your finances this season\, please reach out to Greg.
