The ancient Chinese ritual of a Chadao (The Way of Tea) is a very easily accessible way to approach meditation. The art and intentionality of the practice, the sensorial journey, and the connection of our bodies to nature through the tea leaves help to open us up to mindfulness and to find peace in the present moment. Join us for this simple and beautiful meditative journey. A discussion and an opportunity for journaling and sharing will conclude our evening of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.

Did you know illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is behind only arms, drugs and human trafficking globally? Did you know that, in the mid 1990s, a legislative study was conducted in California and, at that time, illegal wildlife trade in California was second only to the drug trade? IWT is one of the world’s largest criminal activities. Please join us as we meet and listen to three officers (both retired and current) that have spent years investigating illegal wildlife trade, both in California and abroad.
