A tea ceremony hosted in the magical pop up of Supernaturae, dedicated to mindfulness, slow practices, and nature.
About this event
In the world dominated by doing, thinking and being fast, there is a huge need for slowing down and just being.
Through slowing down and feeling, sensing, tasting, being ~ we start engaging with the world in an entirely new way. The way that feels intimate and magical full of simple miracles in ordinary things. We start feeling the depth of each moment. We experience complete fulfillment.
The art of fulfilment is lost for many of us, because we do and run and think and consume, and we rarely stop to savour, to appreciate, to receive what we do or consume.
Tea Ceremony is an amazing medicine that gently nudges us to slow down, engage our senses and through that open our heart to life itself. Be touched by life.
For centuries Tea was used by Native Tribes and Daoist Sages high in the mountains of South West China for alchemy and transformation. Lera holds sacred spaces with the Medicine of Tea in Chadao tradition of Global Tea Hut, facilitating journeys from the head to the heart, to the intimacy of life itself. Tea as a sacred plant medicine creates this space for us to drop into the heart and just be.
Tea that I serve usually comes from the old growth wild or semi wild tea trees (yes, Tea is a Tree!) that transmits peace and quiet joy, and takes us into the space of alive embodied presence.
The seating is done on the floor, and there will be plenty of cushions .
I am looking forward to sharing a bowl of tea with you all!
Lera Zurjeva, of With T Lovers, and founder of Supernaturae - Benedicte Lux, will be around after the session for chats to browse through the store, experience the beautiful craftsmanship of the brand and to answer any questions participants may have either about the collections, about healing or the practice of Sound Meditation.
