Through tea we cultivate presence

If you go beyond the 'process of change' in modern psychological frameworks they all converge on one practice; cultivating present moment awareness, otherwise known as mindfulness. A tea ceremony is a beautiful way to practice this. As you grow your awareness, you'll notice the sensibility of the practice weave into your everyday life. Cultivation of the here and now is profound and brings us back to 'being' rather than always 'doing'.

  • If you’re feeling a call for stillness, this is for you.

  • If you delight in the divine, this is for you.

  • If you need space to unwind and disconnect, this is for you.

  • If you desire to connect to your higher self, this is for you.

    If you’re stressed and overwhelmed, this is for you.

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life”

— Thich Nhat Hanh
