It's time once more for Tea & Dharma!
Come to the Teance Tea Shop on Fourth Street in Berkeley at 7:30 PM this Tuesday, April 30th, for our next gathering. 
Conversation that runs deep, songs that warm the heart, puppets that bring a smile and fellowship that brings us back. Not to mention fabulous tea served with open hands by the Teance staff. This roundtable conversation began ten years ago when Teance was called Celadon over on Solano Avenue. The name and location changed but the spirit sustained and the affinities grew stronger.
