A Mini Retreat for the Senses: Tea Ceremony & Sound Bath

To experience a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and a healing sound bath togeher is a real feast for the senses.

To experience a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and a healing sound bath togeher is a real feast for the senses.

Tea Ceremonies and Sound Baths are similar in that both are specially sequenced and carefully choreographed to provide our bodies and minds with a therapeutic, meditative and healing experience.

Cha Dao, or tea ceremony, is a contemplative practice that is both calming and energizing. It is a perfect way to set the tone for the day ahead. Part meditation, part instructional, here you will learn to journey with tea, allowing body and mind to follow the arc of the beverage through multiple infusions. You will experience cha qi, literally translated as “tea energy,” yet far more complex than the simple transfer of energy from leaf to body and mind.

Sound Bath Meditation offers deeper listening experiences through all the senses with sound as a focal point for illuminating the idea that everything is made of vibration, and in the act of listening we are able to self-heal, connect deeply with one another, and create new neural-pathways for our inherent well-being and equanimity. Our central nervous system can become highly charged due to external forces and Sound Bath Meditations have been found to help with the regulation of stress responses, enabling a sense of calm, deep relaxation, and creative visualization. Therapeutic musical drone instruments used include various types of singing bowls, tuning forks, monochords, shruti boxes, hand pa percussion and voice to help facilitate emotional and physical release, connection, and awareness through our ultimate act of self-care and compassion for others - listening.
