About this Event

Hosted by our tea maven, Eszter - these weekend morning tea rituals will honor the seasonal transition from winter into spring — a time of emergence, elemental recalibration, and renewed vitality. Drawing inspiration from the Fire Horse year and BaZi wisdom, each gathering explores how our inner landscape meets the shifting energies of the season.

While our weekday ceremonies with Deanna, follow the path of Cha Dao, served with a side-handle pot, these weekend sittings are dedicated to Gongfu tea — allowing for a slow, immersive exploration of the leaf through multiple intentional steepings.

We’ll share several rounds of a thoughtfully selected tea, held mostly in silence, allowing space for reflection, sensation, and insight. Rather than striving or fixing, we practice attunement — noticing what wants to be fed, ignited, or gently guided forward.

This is a space for those who feel the pull toward exploration:

  • of energy rather than goals
  • of rhythm rather than resolution
  • of direction rather than pressure

Come as you are. Leave with warmth, clarity, and a quiet sense of alignment for the months ahead.
