Art of Mindful Tea Blending & Nature Walk

Set aside the rush of daily life and ease into a calm, sensory experience centered on mindfulness, tea, and the natural world. The gathering opens with a brief seated practice to arrive in the body and cultivate presence. A silent walk follows through the natural surroundings, inviting attention to the breeze, the ground beneath your feet, and the subtle ways the landscape communicates. After returning to circle, participants get to know a selection of supportive herbs and, with simple sensory guidance, blend a personal tea. The group then prepares the teas and shares a gentle ceremony, learning about plant qualities while enjoying the nourishment that comes from slowing down in community. No prior experience is required. Curiosity and a willingness to take things slowly are encouraged. Facilitated by Shawn, founder of Anam Cara Path, who offers a steady, intuitive presence and a welcoming space for mindful exploration, sharing plant wisdom and simple ritual to guide the process. A suggested contribution of $15 to $45 supports the facilitator, materials, and the continuation of this work, and if cost is a barrier, attendance remains welcome.
