Seasonal Transition Tea Sit

Sitting with Tea is an invitation to connect directly with nature and the nature that is your own being. It is a time to slow the pace, quiet the mind, and invite deeper connection to arise.

On Wednesday, September 21st (9-10AM PST), we will gather virtually via Zoom to connect deeper to self, nature and community – and, under the Balsamic Moon on the eve of the Autumn Equinox, which further invites reflection + integration of the journey so far as well as a release of what is no longer needed in this new season.

THIS IS A FREE EVENT

in this Tea ceremony we will be…

Serving style

…sitting together to drink Tea leaves in a bowl style to further the connection to nature by watching how Tea dances in the water and slowly shares its medicine.

Moon energy

…under the Balsamic (or Waning Crescent) Moon which invites inner reflection + asks us to release what is no longer needed + compost as we move/integrate forward.

SEASONAL energy

…in the energy of the eve of the Autumnal Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere) which is in beautiful alignment with the moon as it invites the same energy of inner reflection + asks us to release what is no longer needed + compost as we move/integrate forward.

the autumnal equinox

"The Autumnal Equinox signals the beginning of a shift in light. A time when the Sun begins to come out to play a little later + goes to bed earlier. This becomes an invitational reminder that we too are safe to seek rest + slow down.

This is a time of deep nurture — of returning to our roots + embodying our center. 

In this ceremonial time of moving inwards to reflect + integrate, we are also invited to reflect on the abundance of light that summer has blessed on our seeds. The Autumn Equinox is a beautiful time to honor the harvest — and our own personal abundance, efforts + intentions.

Alongside abundance, this season also invites us into the power of letting go, shedding + releasing. In Autumn we are drawn, in particular, to the balance between life + death. We learn death is a necessary part of our journey.

This is the time of year to go within + empty out space — composting our old ideas + identities and using the energy they hold to make fertile soil for new creativity + vision to arrive. We are here in a time of duality — just as the equinox invites. During this time we are energetically reminded by the environment around us that we too are safe to embody our own seasons."
