Join Jennifer de Tréglodé, she is a teacher, a textile artist, and a Tea Sommelier in training. But above all else she is a student of rituals from all cultures that involve tea, nature, craft, and community. After unknowingly using tea her whole life as a meditation tool, she was delighted to find The Way of Tea, a hand-in-hand practice with Zen Buddhism. In service of the leaves, there is nothing she loves more than to create a sacred space to share the gratitude, mindfulness, reverence, and wisdom that can be found within a beautiful cup of tea.
Meet Rita,
MORE ABOUT THIS CEREMONY
Step into a world of tranquility and self-discovery as you join us for an enchanting evening of tea and Qi Gong in our immersive workshop, "Harmony of Tea and Qi: A Winter Wellness Experience."
During this unique event, you'll be gently guided through the mindful and skilled practice of serving and receiving tea, unlocking the mystical Qi or energy within each fragrant brew. As you sip and savor the moment, embark on a journey of self-reflection and connection with the universe, delving into the profound wisdom of the Way of Tao.
But the experience doesn't end with tea alone! Our Tea Ceremony is complemented by the graceful practice of Qi Gong, a twin discipline that allows the sacred Qi of the tea to flow through your spirit and body, fostering harmony and unification. In this session, we'll maintain awareness of the water element, aligning with the message of inner reflection and the natural slowing down of the winter season.
Through gentle movements inspired by nature and accompanied by conscious breathing, we will guide the Qi, our life force energy, to the kidneys. In Chinese medicine, the kidneys are associated with the bones, making this practice a unique opportunity to send electromagnetic energy to the bones and bone marrow. This revitalizing technique not only energizes the immune system but also sends a powerful message of health and vitality to our skeletal and hormonal systems.
Designed to be adaptable to everyone's fitness level, this Qigong session is a celebration of the yin energy, reminding us of the power of self-healing and the importance of embracing holistic well-being. Join us for an evening of serenity, self-discovery, and the perfect blend of Tea and Qi to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
