Upcoming IN PERSONCommunity Tea Ceremony
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each gathering begins with a brief check in to arrive & presence with each guest – a moment of (optional) sharing of heart intentions is welcomed. You will be guided into a simple practice and inward journey through a ceremonial Tea service. There is space for optional sharing & reflection time afterwards.
-
Please note we sit on the floor for the duration of this meditation, however accommodations are available for those who need them. Reach out if you have any questions or specific needs.
-
The Tea we drink in ceremony is the true, traditional Tea plant: Camellia sinensis. All traditional teas naturally contain caffeine – and this is part of the medicine and what assists us in our meditation. It is the interweaving of caffeine (gentle stimulation) and L-theanine (gentle sedation) that promotes a quality of “relaxed alertness”. The wild, ceremonial grade Tea we drink in Ceremony is very different from the conventionally processed and bagged teas many are accustomed to. The equivalent of this type of natural caffeine is akin to eating a piece of dark chocolate.
-
You do not need to know anything to come & drink Tea. You may arrive knowing exactly what you need, or you may arrive unsure. Perhaps this is your first time sitting in silence or perhaps you have an established meditation practice.
All is welcome.

What People Are Saying
-
I have been grateful to have seen tea through Alicia's perspective, and to sit with her in ceremony. People and communities need healing and I think her offerings are a pathway to this. It is clear that people's mental health and resilience needs support and the way she has shared tea with me has been a support on my own journey.

Tea Ceremony with Alicia is all about slowing down. How often do we just sit and really savour a cup of tea without any distractions? With each cup of tea I feel the layers of ‘doing’ fall away. Nothing to do, no one to be, nothing to prove, no one to impress. It takes me a bit of time to arrive in this place - giving myself permission to do nothing but be. Alicia holds this space and embodies the beautiful slow sacredness of just being. I am grateful for the medicine of tea for dropping me back into feeling grounded and centred and reminding me how to slow down and savour the moment.

Alicia’s tea ceremony was an exquisitely beautiful and unexpectedly healing gift. The deliciously slow pace and carefully crafted ambiance of the ritual allowed me to enter into a deep meditative state, feeling so held by Alicia’s loving presence and the compassionate spirit of the Tea plant. Having the tea prepared for each of us with such care, intention and reverence felt divinely nourishing and expansive, bringing me to tears. What a truly sweet, divine experience!
