About the event
Join us in a guided Buddhist ceremony using Tea as a medium for meditation and reflection. Join a safe and welcoming group for a silent, meditative Tea Ceremony where grief is welcomed, at The Bardo.
Tea has been used for thousands of years for deep meditation, rites of passage and sacred transitions. Tea, when used in ceremony, has the power to transform. It invites us to connect with nature, with our community and with the deepest parts of our unknown selves. This meditative Tea Ceremony will be used to hols space for Solstice honoring, facilitate processing of grief, and being in community on this sacred evening. We will open the silence to reflection.
You are welcome to bring a journal for post ceremony reflection, but it is not required, you will be able to reflect with or without writing. Dress comfortably and come as you are. No experience necessary.
Your guide, Christin Ament, has been practicing Cha Dao for over ten years. She provides grief and end-of-life support as a death doula and palliative care and hospice provider, and is the co-founder of the Bardo. She was trained in Taiwan by Buddhist Monks on Cha-Dao, the art of Tea, and has led tea ceremonies around the globe.
