DESCRIPTION: Join us for a Sunday morning Tea Ceremony — a bright, grounding way to close your weekend and ease into the week with intention, warmth, and quiet mindfulness.
As you step into the studio, you’ll be welcomed by the soft glow of salt lamps, the cozy warmth of the fireplace, and gentle morning light filling the room. The sound of the river blends with meditative music, creating an atmosphere that invites you to slow your breath, settle your body, and arrive fully into this shared stillness.

Elen will guide us through a traditional Cha Dao ceremony — the Way of Tea — a practice rooted in silence, simplicity, and the subtle medicine of presence. Tea spirit moves through each bowl, offering a gentle yet profound invitation to soften inward and reconnect with the quieter parts of ourselves.

During our time together, we will sip multiple bowls of hot tea from wild-growth tea trees. Shaped by rain, wind, sunlight, and shifting seasons, these ancient trees carry an enlivening Qi that moves through the ceremony, offering the medicine of nature in each bowl.
Morning teas contain small amounts of caffeine, though their purity and quality often allow even those sensitive to caffeine to enjoy this practice with ease. You are welcome to drink as many or as few bowls as feel right for your body.

This intimate 90-minute gathering is limited to 8 participants. Meditation chairs, cushions, and supportive props will be provided. Comfortable clothing is suggested, and a light meal 1–2 hours beforehand can be grounding, though arriving on an empty stomach isn’t recommended. For morning ceremonies, we kindly suggest avoiding coffee or other caffeine beforehand.

This ceremony reflects our studio’s commitment to keeping meaningful practices accessible, a value shared by Elen. For any questions about pricing, please contact the studio directly. Unlimited members receive a discounted rate.
