About this Event
Mindful Tea Ceremony
An introduction to presence through tea.
We begin with a traditional Chinese Gongfu tea demonstration, experiencing the art of preparing tea with intention and care.
The ceremony flows into a communal tea meditation, inviting you to slow down all five senses. With each steep, discover the subtle shifts in aroma, flavour and texture, and settle into a deeper connection with yourself and the present moment.
From there, we'll taste a curated selection of rare, premium, high-quality teas, experiencing drinking tea in this new way.
We close with a sharing circle, expanding our connection from self to connection with community.

Testimonials
"This was a truly incredible experience. It was my first time doing a session with Issie and my first ever tea ceremony too, I loved every second. It was something so helpful to my nervous system, completely calmed me and felt like a massive release. The experience sparked curiousity with tea, worked with many aspects of the senses, stillness, thought and intention, which helped me reconnect with myself again."

“The experience was unique, calming, and refreshing. As someone who has only recently started exploring the world of tea, I learned how to notice and appreciate it in a completely different way. Sharing the experience with a group made me feel both informed and connected, which enhanced the overall experience. Before this experience, having tea on my own was something I did without much thought. I learned what to look for in the taste, aroma, and overall feeling of a finely brewed tea, which gave me a much deeper appreciation for tea. I left feeling really happy that I got to experience this."

"I am one of those people that is on all the time & really struggle to switch off. I feel like there’s always stuff in my brain even when I meditate. There are always things running through my brain, of my to-do lists. But the ritual of making and drinking the tea really allowed me to be mindful in a way that I hadn’t before. Since the workshop I’ve noticed I’ve been more intentional not only in drinking tea but in other moments in my life. It’s made me feel a lot calmer and also a lot less panicky and stressed all the time. I’m super grateful to Issie and I will definitely be coming to the next one❤️"
