A gentle, restorative sequence and guided meditation with a live soundscape of flute and crystal singing bowls,
followed by tea ceremony co-created by Christy Lin and Rachel Elizabeth Maley, founder of  www.chadaochicago.com/

cha dao (茶道), a tea ceremony is an intentional time and space in which we gather and enjoy tea primarily in silence, with time for discussion and questions. 
It is a quiet place to contemplate and grow ourselves, to detach from modern anxieties and stressors, and to enjoy the company of others. Just as one might use sound or movement as a focus for contemplation, tea facilitates physical awareness, stillness, and community.
Enjoy a meditative community experience, while learning kills and insights that can deepen your own contemplative practice and your appreciation of tea.

​
Rachel will serve tea and offer an introduction to cha dao, "The Way of Tea", and the values that give rise to tea ceremonies the world offer. Depart with a new appreciation for this powerful tradition  Asian culture and tools to deepen your mindfulness in everyday rituals. 


Special Notes:
1. Please plan to arrive 5-10 mins early to get comfortable
2. We will share traditional tea, which contains a small amount of caffeine.
3. Guests are asked to sit on the floor while blankets and bolsters are provided, though accommodations will be made for all.

​Founder of Cha Dao Chicago

Rachel is a visual and sound artist based outside of Chicago. A musician since a young age, she performs on multiple instruments and voice, and has worked in various capacities for Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, Side Street Studio Arts, the Brevard Music Center, and the National Youth Orchestra of Iraq. Rachel attended the University of Chicago intending to study ethnomusicology, but instead developed and affinity for dance, comparative literature, and contemporary circus art. Her creative work embodies this penchant for collaboration across all media, offering immersive sound experiences influenced in part by Western sacred music and the percussion of Zen monastic life.

"A search of balance, calm, physical strength, and spiritual growth brought me to the mat at Yoga In DeMun in 2015. Finding a home away from home has kept me there. But what I truly love about here is that it isn't just a place. It's a feeling. Christy takes practice beyond the physical, taking the time to make genuine connections with her students and community. She teaches you how to integrate your practice on the mat into your life everyday. It is a space where I feel completely free to be me, completely free to design my own journey." Lauren A
