🍃🍃🍃🍵🍵🍵🍃🍃🍃As this is an evening offering, we will be serving white peony which contains less caffeine than black or green tea, making it a good option for the evening offering.
We have 2 larger side handle teapots (yokode kyusu) and 2 tables to share tea with up to 14 people.
Payment – Sliding scale – this is an opportunity to contribute to the centre's running costs.
Things to Know - The centre is airconed. We sit on meditation cushions on the plush Mellow mats on the floor with a low table. There are also chairs if you require that seating. Blankets, bolsters, and cushions are also available for your comfort.
What to Expect
• This is a loving and accepting community created with intention by Mo and Alli.
• Either Mo or Alli will be serving, with the other warmly greeting you when you attend.
• After being greeted, we enter the meditative space without talking. The ceremony during the weekdays are 45 minutes, 60mins on weekends, with 15 minutes to share your experiences.
• Approximately 4 rounds of white peony tea are served rich with antioxidants and has cooling properties.
• Gentle music is played throughout the ceremony.
• At the end of the ceremony and the 4 rounds, we share a reading from the 2nd book of the Tao, then open up the invitation to share your experience. We are often surprised by what comes to mind in the presence of tea in silence.
Quiet Contemplative Bowl Tea Ceremony:
A tea ceremony is a meditation practice, as you focus on the tea and yourself. As you drink tea, you also meditate noticing what is present in the stillness.
It is a beautiful mindfulness practice and a great way to take a break from our busy lives, to come into stillness and gain access to the information of our spirit and consciousness that is available to you in this mindfulness practice.
These sessions typically book out, as many people rebook after experiencing this surprisingly wonderful practice.
The Benefits of this Meditation Practice:
• Receiving information - People often get a great deal of information -sometimes called 'downloads', or insights that they like to capture in a journal.
• Calming of the nervous system.
• Connection - to ourselves, and to others.
• Stillness, clarity, and help improve your wellbeing
• Medicinal properties of the tea.
• Encourages us to put pauses between our actions.
Please Note:
• We ask that you arrive 5-10 minutes early, to settle the mind and have either Mo or Alli explain what to expect.
• The bathroom , filtered water and some seating space is available before entering the ceremony.
