New Moon in Gemini: Virtual #BYOT Tea Ceremony

Gemini is a star sign of communication and fluency. As we come together in the spirit of community (which is also very Gemini), we shall sit in reverent silence with Tea Spirit to feel into the energy of Air – fluid motion, winds of change, the coming together of duality and polarity, under the powerful intention-setting nature of the New Moon. I will draw a card for the collective in lieu of the New Moon Activation process, and we shall sit and meditate with the age-old whispers of still waters, fire, metal, earth, and the human hands, elements that alchemise the Spirit of Tea. 

Social Distancing Update:  Now, as we adjust to these winds of change, we look at serving Tea virtually, instilling stillness and presence of mind across the digital waves. You can still participate by simply finding a quiet corner and sitting in silence with me during the tea ceremony. What you need:   1. Go on Instagram account @Liyinglimmm or Facebook page When Still Waters Speak (or RSVP for Zoom link) 2. A bowl or cup is fine too. Prepare a flask or kettle of hot water.   If you have no loose leaf teas around, simply pour this steaming hot water into the bowl/cup and drink in tandem with me.   3. As you sit in silence you begin to become conscious of the Qi the heat is catalysing within you. Continue to sip on the water/tea, and begin to sink into this meditative silence. The more often we partake in ceremony, the easier we find it to sink into meditation and slowly, this meditative pace and appreciation for the simplest things in life will seep into your daily lives.  After the live session, I will be opening the floor to reflections, questions, and of course, a chat. The bowls, as they come and go during the tea ceremony, is a symbolic mandala of our connection - as we sit together we drop all egos and identities are simply being ourselves, with the conscious awareness that we are also all individuals who will eventually leave this ceremony to go on with our lives. In this moment, it is my honour to sit and connect us all. In this moment that is all that matters - this very moment.    

This ceremony is free for all.
