Tea Ceremony
The Chinese ritual of Gong Fu Cha is “making tea with skills”. To make anything with skills requires cultivating presence.
Through this practice, we will explore how to work with tea as a plant ally to cultivate The Way of wood, water, fire, earth, & metal within ourselves.
Each element of Nature is in relationship to specific emotions, meridians of the body, essential virtues, a season of nature, and a form of consciousness.
In this ritual you will select One Element you would like to cultivate more presence, awareness, and balance with.
Choosing an element of nature will tell us which form of the Camellia Sinensis plant we are drinking (green, white, oxidized, aged & fermented, or flowers).
We will then practice the art of Qigong to awaken that specific meridian of the body, and flow through the ritual of drinking Tea and Meditating on the elemental wisdom of nature within us.
Last we will close with space for your reflections wisdom to be shared.
