tea ceremony
Tea Ceremony creates a sacred space of us to slow down, soften & come into stillness. Tea spirit dances through silence & simplicity to take us on a gentle yet deep journey within ourselves.
​
During our time together we will sip upon multiple bowls of tea from wild-growth tea trees. These trees have absorbed the life force of the rain, wind, sun & changing seasons, giving them an enlivening Qi that will move through us during ceremony, offering us the medicine of nature within a single bowl.
​
We do not drink this tea as a beverage, but as a medicine. Through the lineage & art form of Cha Dao- or ‘the way of tea’- we weave together ritual, stillness, and beauty to receive the gifts of Tea.
​
Tea is a plant medicine that meets us exactly where we are. Through her gentle nature, she can be consumed by nearly every person. She has very few barriers to entry. She invites us to come as we are & she will show up there. She is a beautifully generous plant spirit who absolutely loves all humans.
“Tea is more than an idealization of the form of drinking;
it is a religion of the art of life.”
-Okakuro Kazuko
