TEA MENTORSHIP
Supporting Journeys of Self-Cultivation and Ceremonial Service with the Medicine of Tea
Tea Mentorship is a space of support for those on a journey of communing with tea as a personal practice and plant medicine, as well as for those walking a practitioner path of ceremonial tea service.
Together, we will explore the practical and energetic aspects of the Cha Dao lineage with an emphasis on learning and refining practical skills, self-cultivation and personal transformation through ceremony, and tending an intimate relationship with the plant spirit of tea as a healer, teacher, friend and guide.
INTRODUCTION TO CHA DAO
A Series of Educational & Experiential Classes to Initiate Your Personal Cha Dao Tea Ceremony Practice
This offering is intended as a comprehensive introduction to starting one’s own tea practice in the foundational brewing method as taught in the Cha Dao tradition- leaves in a bowl ceremony.
Through these educational and experiential sessions, you will cultivate understanding of the foundational lineage teachings, learn the practical “how-to” of serving tea ceremonially and experience the life-changing benefits of creating your own personal practice.
This series is suitable for those desiring to cultivate a personal practice and those who feel called to the path of tea service.
Class One: Introduction to Cha Dao, Tea as A Medicine and Leaves in A Bowl Ceremony
Class Two: The Five Basics of Tea Brewing, Ceremony Energetics and Skill Practice
Class Three: Elemental Alchemy and Serving A Leaves in a Bowl Ceremony
CONTAINER DETAILS
It is recommended to take the classes over a six week period, creating space for two weeks of integration and practice between classes. This can be adjusted for longer or shorter duration, if needed.
We can meet in-person at the Medicine Temple space or virtually via Zoom. Each class is two hours long and will include both lessons and sharing bowls of tea together.
I provide a guidebook with class materials and tea resources.
EXCHANGE
The three class series is $666.
For those desiring more intimate support in cultivating your practice, receiving reflection and guidance for your personal process and deepening your relationship with tea in-between sessions, there is an option to add WhatsApp text and voice note support for a total exchange of $1,111 (held as a six-week container).
Add a ceramic tea bowl is $30. Tea leaves are also available for purchase.
SINGLE TEA MENTORSHIP SESSIONS
After completing the Introduction to Cha Dao series, single sessions can be scheduled, as desired, for continued instruction and guidance.
Single sessions are also available for those who already have an established tea practice or are in active service.
