To feel the universal energy that flows through all beings – humans\, animals\, plants & trees and the elements of earth\, water\, fire and air. This connection\, this belonging to ourselves and to the earth is our birth right and lineage. Our modern culture has lost this connection at the deepest level. Yet\, the connection remains. The way forward is by re-connecting and remembering who we are in the circle of life.  \nYou will learn how to taste tea like an herbalist. \nThe tea tasting is a way of waking up to the inner knowing\, the thinking and intelligence within our bodies. This knowledge allows us to connect to the plants\, to hear the plants\, to know the plants. \nThe plants remain our greatest teachers\, our direct connection to the teachings of the earth. These are ancient traditions that I am grateful to share\, as they were shared and taught to me. \nI hope you will join me in the circle of beloved belonging.  \nDetails/ Information \nSunday April 2\, 2023 10-11am \n12 and up.
