About the Event
Come together to experience a rich tradition that honours the many hands of ancestral wisdom, and the universe in a bowl.
We will share a rare vintage "living" Tea from old-growth trees that have stood for at least 300 years.Â
Tea Ceremony
For centuries, Zen monks, Daoists and shamans have relied on the Tea Spirit for their healing abilities and ancient wisdom. This is a practice that has been left in the dust of the past as Tea began to be grown and sold as a commodity. In this ritual Tea is honoured as plant medicine and Spirit through creating a sacred space in which our beings can sit in silence, turn inward and reconnect to our hearts, through Nature, through love and gratitude for the simple moments in life.
Much later when Tea Ceremony became a truly reverred art form in Japan, Samurais, monks and emperors alike would drop their identities and leave their swords and armours outside the tearoom, and all sit together in reverent silence, in a place where social position, judgement and differences melt away.
​
Tea ceremony will allow you to drop from your head into your heart, often times in the most unexpected ways. In this practice, we sit as love flows from our hearts into the bowls of tea, and it becomes simply something sacred to behold. The ordinary becomes extraordinary. Gratitude flows. Creativity unlocks.
​
We honour the ancient traditions, tea trees and earth, fire, water, mountains and rain, moon, stars and sun – nature's alchemy that is within us and yet, sadly forgotten in today's busy lives. In this soft gentle heart space, As the saying goes, the brewer defines the taste of the Tea that is served and the energy of a Tea Ceremony.
We will be focusing on several concepts to raise your awareness in this Ceremony:
· Breath ~ a conduit between body and mind, signalling the mind to work for you, not against you. My method encompasses the activation of the energy system and toric field to heighten your awareness so that you can move into limitless potential and embody your cosmic magnificence and take divinely aligned actions in the 3D.
· Tea ~ the great connector between humans and all matters of jing (essence), qi (energy/subtle body) and Shen (spirit), we find presence and stillness as we connect to the wisdom of the cosmos and Mother Earth through the magic of wild, untainted Tea leaves
· Words ~ what the ancients used to call "cloud scrolls" from heavens above, we will learn how to use words to powerfully root in our vision, dreams, and observe our self-limiting beliefs and open your energetic field up and anchor you into the truth of who you are.
· Body ~ the bridge between spirit and mind, communicating the true nature of your soul so the mind can carry out meaningful actions that serves your expansion
More on clean, "living" Tea: these are leaves that are seed-propagated, rather than grafted, from indigenous, ancient and/or wild tea trees that are honoured for their diversity in the environment in which they flourish, biochemical and fertiliser-free, and cultivated in a clean environment with love from the respective farmers. These leaves bridge Heaven and Earth to sharpen our minds while at the same time, awakening our hearts.
