You are invited to join us for a beautiful Sunday morning Cha Dao tea ceremony, facilitated by Elen Rose.
Tea Ceremony creates a sacred space for 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. Morning tea ceremonies contain small amounts of caffeine, though their purity and quality often allow even those sensitive to caffeine to enjoy this practice with ease. You are welcome to drink as many or as few bowls as feel right for your body.
This intimate 90-minute gathering is limited to 8 participants. Meditation cushions and supportive props will be provided. Comfortable clothing is suggested, and a light meal 1–2 hours beforehand can be grounding, though arriving on an empty stomach isn’t recommended. For morning ceremonies please avoid coffee or other caffeine beforehand. You are welcome to bring a journal to write during our time together.
