"El Palo Alto" tea ceremony

Embodied in this project is the city of Palo Alto, its communities, their stories, and its ecology.  ​ 
This Tea Ceremony and community ritual  is the culmination of my art Project "El Palo Alto Medicine", currently on display at the Palo Alto Art Center. 

With the public gathering around the artful preparation, we invoked the healing powers of redwoods while enjoying redwood tea.  United we called for strength, wisdom and resilience to stand up for climate justice.
