CHA DAO

 

What is Cha Dao? In Chinese, “Cha” means tea. “Dao” means “the way,” a term often used to refer to a path of meditation, balance, quiet, simplicity and harmony with nature. It is the natural way of the universe unfolding and the view that all life is interconnected.

 

Taken together, Cha Dao is this mindful way of life - accessed by the physical and spiritual qualities of tea and tea ceremony. When you drink tea with intention, the energy of the mountain where the tea was grown, the rain, sun and soil that nourished the tea, the water for brewing, and the clay that made your vessel all flow into you.

 

There are many ways to brew tea in the spirit of Cha Dao. Our preference (as you can guess!) is for Leaves in a Bowl, a simple heart centered practice without pretension or the need for skill.
