About this Event
TOAD: Open for Tea is an in-person gathering for the local community.
Tea, nourishment & connection
In a calm, cozy setting, guests are invited to share a warm meal, enjoy gong-fu tea service, and take part in contemplative activities.
A gathering with purpose
The aim is to create a container for authentic connection that prioritizes sobriety, presence, and appreciation of individual differences. We believe high-quality food, aged tea, and contemplative gathering can help create this kind of space.
