Lama has a long-standing connection with Chado, or the Way of Tea. In this podcast we dive in to this rich relationship.

Thanks to Siddiq and Sakina von Briesen, Asha Greer, Lesley McLean, Joe Cates, Habib Chisti, and all the residents of Lama Foundation for contributing to and supporting this podcast.

This shorter podcast is a must listen for anyone who is wondering what in the world a Lama Foundation is. And for those who already know, check out this sweet conversation with Roberta Sharples, current resident and Treasurer for the foundation. Plus a special guest appearance by our now-five-year-old, Keira.
