Peace Awareness: A Way of Tea, is an intimate two-hour tea gathering where you will be guided to a place of inner calm, allowing your heart to open as you connect with space, silence, stillness and breath. Limited to six people you will be served three different types of special artisanal teas (plus a healthy sweet treat). The teas will be prepared and served in a way that is consistent with the culture from which they originate.
The alchemy of a tea gathering has a mystical ability to bring us to places of beauty within our being. Beauty softens our hearts and we become more attentive to the voice of our true Self. The word beauty and the word beatify, to bless, share the same origin. We will be creating space for the blessings that already are to enter and manifest in our lives.
The tea gathering is both a time of quiet contemplation and a time to chat and share. It is said that when people gather for tea, good things happen. So please join us to experience pronoia where the world around you conspires to do you good.
We will also be offering a choice of organic flower tisanes – a healthy and delicious alternative to those who wish to limit their caffeine.

This month we are excited to welcome Courtnay Robbins of every moment aware as Paul’s co-host. In the remote mountains of Northern Vietnam, there are pristine and untouched forests of Shan Tuyet tea trees that have been growing wild for hundreds of years. You may say that some of these trees are the ancestors of modern tea.
Every moment aware teas are harvested and processed by the indigenous Red Dzao community, who have been living alongside these wild tea trees for generations. Every step, from picking to packaging, is done by hand by a dedicated family cooperative, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. The tea is produced in small batches, maintaining a personal touch with every harvest.
It is extremely rare to be able to enjoy tea that has such a direct route from the tree to you – only passing through loving hands that have a deep connection with the plant.
Courtnay Robbins is a tea ceremony facilitator as well as a RYT500 certified yoga instructor. She is accredited by the Kyoto Urasenke Tea Association and is the creator of every moment aware – a tea ritual experience and ethically sourced tea brand. She hosts meditative tea ceremonies, tea tastings, and a unique event called Teas with Bees: A Sensory Tea Ceremony Experience in Sanctuary for Rescued Bees.
