Riding the Dragon, A Tea and Cultivation Retreat
September 4th -6th. Portland, Oregon
man tea nature heaven
Join us for a three-day retreat dedicated to the cultivation of tea and self. Together, we will delve deeply into the energetics of tea using the tea school's vast collection while weaving together meditation and qigong throughout the weekend.
Limited to 8 participants, this intimate retreat offers an opportunity to deepen your listening skills, explore a vibrational approach to understanding tea and teaware, and cultivate a more profound connection with the heart of being. This intentionally intimate retreat allows for individualized guidance, meaningful conversation, and a slower, more spacious rhythm.
Throughout the weekend, we'll share from a carefully curated collection of rare and exceptional teas, many of which are not readily available outside of the tea school.
Each day will conclude in the mid-afternoon, leaving space to rest, integrate the day's experiences, or explore the beauty of the surrounding area.
