CULTIVATE CONNECTIONTEA + HONEY MEMBERSHIP
An online gathering space to share in a personal practice of meditations with Tea.
Tea is a plant of connection.
Many are already familiar with Tea — Camellia sinensis, for it’s ability to soothe and comfort.
The act of putting the kettle onto boil is one that is known across cultures as a way to welcome, warm, nourish and tend.
And it is through the simple act of sharing Tea – together in the essence of presence – that we can cultivate new perspectives and pathways to connection.
An invitation to Tea is…
an invitation to a gentle, grounding, and nourishing practice of slowing down and attuning inward.
Bubbling waters, rising steam and slow unfurling of tea leaves guide you on a journey back to the quiet place within.
Show up as you are, and sip by sip experience how the warmth of Tea welcomes you home to the heart of the moment.
𖦹 awaken the senses 𖦹 soften the body
𖦹 still the mind 𖦹 open the gates of the heart
𖦹 reconnect to what is sacred 𖦹 remember your essential nature
The Art of Tea is shared as a loving extension of my own devotional meditation practice with Tea, study of tea cultures, lineages and lifeways around the world, work in the tea industry, and experience of Tea as a healing balm for body, mind, spirit and community.
Over the past six years, the ritual of Tea has been a profound pillar for me personally. Developing and deepening my practice has supported and resourced my life in ways I never could have expected when I first began simply taking the time to slow down, embrace the silence, and brew tea as medicine. First for myself, and now in the sharing and serving of Tea Ceremony. Gathering amplifies the potency of the medicine. It is a deep honour and great joy to share this practice.

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!
