Communitea: A Potluck Style Community Tea Ceremony
About this Event
Join tea monk Kursten Brewer and meditation teacher Mudra Love for a contemplative, embodied tea experinece. Together, we'll savor a thoughtfully curated selection of artisanal tea as we slow down, sip with intention, and create space for presence, reflection, and connection.
Each gathering has its own special flavor—and this one is all about tacos! 🌮 We’ll be setting up a taco bar, so bring one delicious item to share and let’s create a colorful, tasty feast together. The more toppings, the merrier!
We hope you'll join us. 🌷
Kursten Brewer brings a wealth of wisdom in the art of pouring, serving, and savoring tea. Blending his deep knowledge of tea with experience in meditation and Gene Keys readings, he guides others through a process that invites quiet reflection and a deeper inward journey—all while enjoying exquisite ceremonial-grade teas.
Mudra Love draws upon her training in Mindfulness Meditation, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) to guide students toward greater calm, clarity, and insight. Originally from Nepal, she was first introduced to meditation by her father, a Buddhist monk in the Zen (Chan) tradition. Today, she continues her practice at a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Nuʻuanu, where she deepens her own cultivation while sharing mindfulness with others.
