Had a private session today with 2 travelers from Los Angeles- Logan and Mani.
We discussed Tea as a Plant Spirit Medicine and aid for meditation, and did a bit of somatic exercises in order to recieve fully a cup of tea.
They had just climbed the volcano Acatenango, and are spending another week in Guatemala.
We started off with a Wild Tree Purple Tea, in many ways the tea that started it all for me.
Next we had an incredible Shui Xian oolong (available on the website).
We finished off the session with Medicine Cake, the 2008 clay urn aged Lincang shu puerh.
It was a beautiful and thoughtful provoking sit.
The Mountain Sanctuary Tea Temple is open for appointments, tea tastings and silent sits now until February 20 when I fly to Malaysia for the spring.
We also have many Teas and Puerh for sale here at the Lake.
Come visit us on the mountain!
