The Heart Of Tea Cohort

An 8-Week Journey of Stillness, Compassion, and Learning the Way of Tea

You are warmly invited to step into an 8-week journey of mindfulness, heart connection, and Tea exploration, beginning Sunday, September 7th.

We will gather in the quiet intimacy of my home in Gunbarrel, creating a safe and nurturing space to explore the Way of Tea — grounded in compassion, presence, and community practice.

 The Journey

Over the weeks, we will weave silence, reflection, heart-centered practice and teachings into the simple yet profound act of sharing Tea.

  • Foundations of a Personal Tea Practice – creating ritual, rhythm, and presence in your daily life.

  • Contemplative Tea Ceremony – sitting with Tea as teacher, guide, and mirror of stillness.

  • Holding Space from the Somatic Heart – deepening the art of listening and presence.

  • Serving Tea with Compassion – embodying hospitality, simplicity, and grace.

    This is more than learning a ceremony — it is stepping into a way of being, guided by the wisdom of leaves, water, and silence.

Flow of Classes

Each gathering will have a gentle rhythm — a flow that allows us to arrive fully, rest in presence, and open to the wisdom of Tea.

  • Arrival & Grounding – We begin by settling into stillness, arriving as we are, and connecting with ourselves and the circle. A few moments of breath and presence prepare us to step into ceremony with open hearts.

  • Tea Ceremony – Together we share 5–7 bowls of Tea in silence. Each week we will explore a different genre of Tea — from delicate greens to grounding dark leaves — discovering how each one carries its own energy, medicine, and teaching.

  • Teaching & Reflection – After ceremony, I will offer a teaching connected to that week’s tea and practice. This may include reflections on Tea as a way of mindfulness, guidance for deepening a personal practice, and the stories and wisdom carried by each genre of Tea. There will also be space for questions and shared reflections, so we can learn not just from Tea, but from one another.
