We’re thrilled to welcome our new facilitator, Keith, who will guide us through a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, followed by a blissful guided meditation.

The tea ceremony is an ancient practice that honors tea as plant medicine. Originating in China over 2,000 years ago, it was cultivated by Buddhist monks as a way to practice mindfulness, stillness, and reverence.

Known as Cha Dao, or “the Way of Tea,” this practice is about living in harmony with nature, honoring the lineage of tea, and tuning into the energetic exchange—the chi—that each cup offers.

This ceremonial gathering is both a space for quiet contemplation and for shared connection in community or communiTEA :)
