RETREATS | BIRTHDAYS | GATHERINGS | PRIVATE SESSIONS
To meditate on Tea is to meditate on Life.
The ceremonial practice of Cha Dao, The Way of Tea, brings us together in community to connect us through the filling and emptying of bowls. We sit in silence, cultivating awareness while consciously maintaining our focus on the Tea throughout the various stages of preparation, brewing, pouring and serving, and drinking, allowing ourselves to become fully immersed in the present moment.
Through this practical application of mindfulness, the Way of Tea translates effortlessly into our everyday way of Being. Grounding us into each moment, we apply our focus and intention into every act, with reverence and stillness of mind and heart.
The Way of Tea becomes a beautiful portal to calm the mind, soothe the spirit and warm the heart.
Tea Ceremony is a delightful practice to celebrate any special occasion, to include while on retreat, for solo journey as well as intimate group gatherings.
“A friend and I had a private tea ceremony with Patricia and it was one of the most beautiful experiences! Patricia hosted us in her garden, which is such a calming retreat and the perfect space to slow down and be. This was my first tea ceremony so I wasn't sure what to expect, and I honestly got so much more than I ever imagined from this experience. Patricia encouraged us to be in meditation and really connect with the tea. I was in awe of the downloads and connections with spirit that I experienced through this ceremony. We had a purple tea called "Gateway to Spirit" and it was a gateway indeed... :) Every round of tea held new messages and lessons and insights. And every time I opened my eyes to Patricia's beautiful garden and presence, I felt so held and nourished. Patricia holds such powerful, loving space and is a well of wisdom and insight. She not only shares this practice but has spent years sitting with it herself. I can't imagine journeying to Sedona in the future and not experiencing the magic of this experience with her again. If you have the opportunity, don't miss out on being guided by this beautiful human and the spirit of the tea!!”
