Modern living swirls us into a constant cycle of planning, wanting, and doing; we inevitably feel overwhelmed, fatigued, disconnected, or unwell. Tea as Daily Retreat is a practice of self-love, creating boundaries from the ceaseless demands of the mind and finding restoration through stillness and simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most tea meditations, Tea as Daily Retreat does not treat meditation as a means to \u003cem\u003eacquire\u003c\/em\u003e stillness, nor does it feed into the spiritually materialistic idea that meditation will \u003cem\u003egive\u003c\/em\u003e us something. Instead, it is an act of deduction - a gradual process of slowing down, shedding layers of noise, and returning to simplicity. Through the mindful tea ritual, we approach meditation in its dynamic form: getting used to the mind, observing its movement, and becoming intimately aware of its ever-changing nature. Ultimately, such intimacy with our mind enables us to transcend any challenges in life into ease or delight. Thus, one lives fully. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 35-minute practice invites you to solitude daily, or as often as possible, where tea becomes an intimate vessel for presence, a quiet guide in learning to release, let go, and, ultimately, find rest. Generally, it will be guided as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting Intention \u0026amp; Aspiration (2 min)\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Meditation \u0026amp; First Brew of Tea (10 min)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecond Meditation \u0026amp; Second Brew of Tea (10 min)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThird Meditation \u0026amp; Third Brew Of Tea (10 min)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicating Merit (3 min)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that this is a virtual event.
