Tea
A Timeless Approach to Meditation
For centuries drinking tea has been practiced as more than a simple leisure activity, there is also a long history of tea as a meditative practice.
Zen monks as far back as the 12th century would drink tea not only to remain awake during meditation but as a way to become more fully present and to do so with an open heart. Modern research has shown that tea has an abundance of health-giving properties.
An aspect of the alchemy of tea is its seemingly mystical ability to bring us to places of beauty within our being. Beauty softens our hearts and we become more attentive to the voice of the Beloved. The word beauty and the word beatify, to bless, share the same origin. So we will be creating space for the blessings that already are to enter and manifest in our lives.

Every week, a group of us come together to drink tea and talk about this way of art.
We call this gathering Peace Awareness: A Way of Tea. You’re welcome to join us.
