We are honored to welcome tea and temple steward Baelyn Elspeth for a conversation held in loving communion with the divine, in celebration of Beltane and the lush fertility of this moment.  Baelyn has been studying a lineage of Cha Dao “The Way of Tea” with her teacher WuDe since 2011, working with Zen and Tea as a daily practice to cultivate radical stillness and presence. With roots in Los Angeles and Santa Fe, NM, Baelyn dances in devotion to the cosmos, through community, artistry, the great mysteries and beyond.  In this conversational portal we discuss: Baelyn’s path into tea Being a Seeker and Student of the Universe The Art of Listening + Getting out of the Way Aligning our Will with the Divine The depth of Yin and the peak of Yang Tools for resisting the noise of the world Finding Balance between discipline and wildness Shifting our orientation toward aliveness and authenticity The role of the Sacred Feminine and Priestess in the cosmic web  Thank you Baelyn for beaming your light with us.
