Flora Unfolding: Tea ceremony & poetry through the life of a flower

Join us for five consecutive sundays in April and May to muse over the life cycle of a flower through poetry, edible treats related to each themed week, and the practice Cha Dao - The Way of Tea.

Each week we will explore a new theme, starting with the seed, going to the root, stalk, flower, and ending with the garden/fruit. We will begin each session with a silent tea ceremony - a space of reverent beauty, presence and stillness. We will meander into poetry, shared musings and a homemade edible treat (GF).

Drinking tea (camellia sinensis) in this way creates a container of profound yet simple presence. It is a restful space, a place to just be and attune. We will gather in the name of beauty to sit in this still place together, to connect with ourselves and the plant world.
