Tea is the medium in which I choose to work, or rather, the medium which chooses to work through me. She presented herself to me at a time in my life when I had lost myself to the expectations and machinations of society, and could not see the way back. She took me gently by the hand and showed me the way home. This is the magic of Tea Ceremony - the medicine works on us to remember to remember. She is the road home, the way - to our bodies, to the world, to the present moment - and she leaves us with a sense of completion, wholeness and perfection.
The Tea Ceremony I serve is based in the cycles and circles of nature, alongside the ancient lineages and traditions from the birthplace of Tea herself, China. We sit in silence, and drink Tea as plant medicine, becoming more open and present as a result. I often tell people that the ceremonies themselves are like moving meditations. The ceremony breathes, there is a moving inwards and returning outwards, as the bowls of tea are poured, passed out, and collected back. As we sit together, our heart beats slow, our minds and jaws unclench, and we can begin to feel into the very moment we find ourselves in. Tea Ceremony is an opportunity to slow down, to simply be, and of course, to consume some beautiful plant medicine at the same time. Check below for current ways to join me with Tea.
