Description
Introduction
Welcome to an immersive two-hour Chinese tea ceremony, where we invite you to embark on a meditative journey through four chapters in the new season. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with nature’s cycles, gently guiding you through the subtle energies of each new season. Begin with the soft transition from the previous season of cozy winter, and fully adapt and enjoy the new Spring season.
Each chapter in this season is represented by a special tea collection from YIN CHA, prepared with mindful intention and Chinese brewing techniques. This journey is accompanied by natural sounds and aromas that encourage you to engage your senses—taste, sound, smell, and touch. You’ll be invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and fully immerse yourself in the present moment. This sensational journey through time will leave you feeling calm, centered, and deeply connected to the natural rhythms of life.
What We Will Do
In this two-hour session, we will guide you through four chapters of meditative tea ceremony, each representing one chapter of the new season, from beginning to end.
Embrace – Honor the joy of winter and gently welcome spring.
Cultivation – Settle into spring, embracing change and growth.
Delight – Ground yourself in spring’s freshness and reflect on wisdom.
Inner Discovery – Practice breathwork, deep relaxation, and inner reflection.
Each tea ceremony will be a slow and mindful process, with moments for quiet reflection, gentle breathing, and simply being present. You will be guided through the subtle shifts in energy as we progress through each chapter, fostering a deeper connection with both nature and yourself.
