I am incredibly grateful to hold a Tea Ceremony at this amazing space. I dreamed to hold something at the gallery for a while now. Why? I don’t know. But it just felt important to combine conscious art, music and beautiful spaces with ceremony.
ABOUT SEASON
S E A S O N is an artist-led space, founded by recent RCA graduates Adam Henderson, Finchittida Finch and Emmie Ray Hubbard. A new art + wellbeing space that honours the rhythms of the seasons and cycles of nature. Guided by the lessons of the pandemic, our intention is to provide a new vision for this hidden gem in the heart of East London, which holds a voice for our human nature across different art forms and healing modalities.
SEASON is self-funded by the three artists. They hope to continue offering events, exhibitions and workshops to build the community of SEASON. Thank you for your support in the growth of SEASON.

ABOUT EVENT
Join us for the deep and soft Tea Ceremony to journey from the head to the heart, to the intimacy of life itself.
For centuries, Tea in the form of Chadao Practice has been used in China by Aboriginal Shamans, Daoist Sages and Buddhis Monks for alchemy and transformation.
They knew early on that leaves from all the trees are transmitters of the information that comes from the Universe - the Sun, the Moon, stars, wind, rain, all the elements that move through the Earth. We don't ingest many leaves from the trees, but we do drink Tea. So small leaves that come from wild and old Tea Trees in the forests of China contain the wisdom of Life itself. Wisdom, which is unlocked by the alchemical union of hot water and leaves in a clay teapot. Wisdom that is then absorbed by us - physically and metaphorically. Through this process we become that wisdom.
Through Tea we connect to Nature. Not just Nature in the form of trees and plants. But our own True Nature that can only be recognised when we slow down enough and become silent and still in the heart.
Deep and gentle Medicine of Tea invites us to do that so that we can drop into our Hearts and be intimate with "the ten thousand things" as Zen Master Dogen once said.
You will be guided on how to listen and hear the teachings of the Tea.
