The Way of Tea

You arrive to the place that celebrates exactly this moment. You sit down and listen to water slowly warming up, and let the fragrant aroma wake up your senses. A warm bowl of living tea that has grown in harmony with nature and made in the best ancient traditions finds its ways into your hands next to your heart. Just one sip and all the morning mist, afternoon sun, refreshing rain and mountain wind enter your body. You give yourself away and let the tea spirit guide you. There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life. It allows us to rest from all that has been and makes space for all that will come. It guides us. Just let it. Give yourself in. Reconnect with nature. Find the inspiration in emptiness… And when the bowls will be empty, the hearts will be full.

Cha Dao - The Way of Tea - is an ancient Chinese practice that honours tea as a spiritual elixir for calming the mind and connecting us back with Nature. Tea as a plant medicine, awakened by hot water, helps us to listen to our body and heart, see extraordinary in ordinary, and feeling in harmony and presence. She connects us back to what we already know by simply breathing and being alive. She is non-verbal, non-religious, while resonating with many religions. You don’t need to believe in anything or be someone specific. Tea meets you where you are and reminds you of who you are. Every ceremony is unique, giving you exactly what you need.

We will share tea in silence to give space for the meditative mind and heart. A Tea sitting can last 1 - 1,5 hours and can be shared in many ways. It can be a reason to gather, or used as a ceremony to celebrate something special. Please check the calendar to join the next group or connect with me to arrange your private sitting.
