SARAH SCARBOROUGH / Ritual Workshop and Ceremony Meditation

Sarah Scarborough, of Tea Huntress, has devoted the last a twenty years of her life to discovering the history, agriculture and culture of tea – as well as how tea is studied as a spiritual practice around the world. She has followed tea’s journey around the world to learn the ancient traditions of tea and how we can learn from it as a tool for personal ritual and ceremony. She will lead us in a workshop on how to infuse daily ritual into your life, as well as conduct a meditation through tea ceremony with us during the retreat.
