Cha Dao, the way of tea

ceremonial tea sitting

Touching the intangible: a collaborative drawing exercise
led by Sofia Belen

Rituals, like art, help us reach toward the intangible. What happens to our experiences and practices when we place limits and remove rationality? How can we translate something that can only be felt or experienced into a physical process? Touching the Intangible helps you release creative baggage alongside another person while listening to music.

Collaborative movement performance
led by Tamara Chu & friends

using the drawings from Touching the Intangible as source material, Tamara will guide collaborators through a movement performance.

Volunteers needed!

Ambient DJ set by Kia Kimera

Round out the morning session with an ambient DJ set while you quietly reflect, journal, or any other quiet practice you enjoy.

Light refreshments (pastries, coffee, more tea, etc...) will be available

1 — 2pm Lunch hour: read, eat, reflect

bring your lunch and enjoy the final bits of Kia Kimera's ambient set.

We will have light refreshments and N/A beverages for all ticket holders.

Afternoon Session

All Day or Afternoon session only

Água Viva reading discussion
led by Chelsie Joy Valerio & Daniel Lucas

If language is a ritual passed down, what are we missing because of the rules, standards, and expectations of language? What is missing from our language? Is it possible to express the truth? What parts of reality have no synonyms? If we can't get at these experiences in writing, what must we do?

Reading discussion led by Chelsie Joy Valerio & Daniel Lucas

We will be discussing an excerpt from Água Viva by Clarice Lispector

If you will join for the reading discussion, make sure to have done the reading!
