First Saturdays:

Tea Meditation with Sylvia

8:50-10:00 am

Dr. Sylvia has been doing “tea meditation” for about 30 years. She first got into tea in Santa Cruz with classes offered by local tea masters. The appreciation continued when she lived in the Bay Area in her martial arts practice.

Tea ceremony can be a way to focus on the simple things, to have humility, to appreciate imperfection, to be fully in one’s senses, and to have gratitude for all these things and more.

Come and begin a Saturday morning with simplicity. Begin a month with “presence” within community.

RSVP’s are not necessary. You may want to arrive on time, or otherwise miss the part where Sylvia describes and talks about the ceremony. We will be sitting in silence after the brief introduction of how the tea meditation goes.

We will be enjoying traditional aged black Pu-erh tea from Hidden Peak Tea House of Santa Cruz. (Herbal tea will be available upon request.)

Please arrive to The Better Back and Body Shop in comfortable clothing. We will meditate seated in chairs. Grab a handout outside the front before you enter.

Donations will be accepted.
