Join us for community tea in The Sanctuary

Gong fu cha is the traditional Chinese art of preparing tea. Considered an internal martial art, the practice of preparing, serving, and imbibing this sacred master plant is a sacred process of external and internal alchemy. We gather together around the tea table to attune more deeply to our senses and cultivate an experience of collective being.

For centuries, the teahouse has been a cultural hub and gathering place where people from all walks of life may come together gather together to share what’s on their hearts and minds. They have served as spaces for artistic expression and community organizing and offered refuge in times of chaos.

In this tea sit, we will journey with a variety of teas from ancient trees in China and Taiwan.
