Craft & Connection III: Art and Holiday Herbal Tea Blends

Schedule

Sat Nov 15 2025 at 03:00 pm to 05:00 pm

UTC-08:00

Location

Groundfloor | Oakland, CA

An afternoon of intentional wellness and meaningful connection. Discover, taste and create your perfect tea blend, while creating art.



Part Three of III Craft and Connection Events this Fall 🍂

Join us for an afternoon of resilience and connection. This gathering offers a nurturing space to express ourselves through various artistic mediums while exploring teas that complement your mood and creative journey.


We'll provide an assortment of art supplies, including:

  • Pencils and ink markers for sketching and drawing
  • Beautiful mandala coloring pages for mindful creation
  • Materials for crafting friendship bracelets
  • Watercolor paints and pads
  • A thoughtfully curated tea bar for every mood


This is an opportunity to create images and artwork that reflect the courage we demonstrate in our daily lives and the strength we share with each other. Through art, we can express the small acts of bravery that shape our everyday experiences - from facing challenges at work to showing up for loved ones, from trying new things to standing up for what matters to us.


Our mood-inspired tea bar will feature varieties to match whatever you are feeling: calming chamomile and lavender for moments of reflection, energizing green tea for creative bursts, grounding rooibos, and dandelion root for staying present, and uplifting ginger lemon elixir for celebration. Select teas that align with your current state of mind, the feeling you'd like to cultivate while creating, with the option to brew your own blends as well.


All skill levels welcome. While we'll have various art supplies available, please feel free to bring any personal craft projects you're currently working on. This is a judgment-free space to express yourself, connect with others, and celebrate our shared journey of resilience.
