Solstice Tea Ceremony

About this event

You are invited to come and experience the gentle medicine of tea on the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year invites us to honour the dark as a space where deep transformation happens. It is a time for rest, contemplation and nourishment. Let us do that together, in ceremony.

ABOUT THE EVENT
During this 2-hour event, we will move through a gentle somatic practice, pranayama (yogic breathing techniques), and a tea ceremony with meditation. There will also be time for journaling and/or reflection at the end. You'll head home feeling relaxed, grounded and deeply nourished.

ABOUT TEA
Cha Dao, the Way of Tea, is an ancient tradition originating from China that turns preparing and drinking tea into a mindful practice. It is all about slowing down and experiencing the magic of the present moment. Drinking tea mindfully and in ceremony becomes a meditation - a way to connect with nature's wisdom and find stillness.

Camellia Sinensis (tea) is a gentle, heart-opening plant medicine that has the power to deeply nourish. We will be drinking a premium tea specially selected for this occasion.

PRACTICAL:
The tea ceremony is being held at a beautiful location in the centre of Breda, The Yoga Loft, on Sunday 21 December from 14:30 to 16:30.

Mats, blankets and small bolsters are available, but feel free to bring anything that will make you comfortable. You can also bring your journal and pen, otherwise paper and pens will be provided.

Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in freely, and layer up so you can be cosy. Also in regard to comfort, refrain from eating a heavy meal in the 2 hours prior to the event.

Early bird price (until 30 November) €29
Regular price €35

Max. 10 participants, so don't delay in reserving your spot!

If you have any questions about this event, I'll be happy to answer them.

I look forward to connecting with you.
