Tea Meditation

Wednesday, Februuary 22 | 3:30-4:30pm | $40+
Anything can become a mindfulness practice when we slow down and be present. The art of a tea ceremony is an ancient tradition of meditation to cultivate a space of stillness and wellbeing. Tea ceremonies are a cultural activity which turns the act of pouring tea into an artful exercise of ritual — like a moving meditation that results in a delicious cup of tea. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the presence and practice celebrating even the simplest moments. 

Using wild old growth tea leaves in the ritual of enjoying tea in community has long been regarded in Asia as a means of connecting with the essential in Life and Nature. During this meditative experience, members will have time and space to pause in a tranquil practice that awakens all the senses through the sharing of tea. The Art of the Pour provides powerful lessons for modern life including the value of community, silence, self-care and respect for Nature.
