Two days of tea ceremonies in nature under an ancient tree that held us so lovingly. What an incredible group of guests - I am so touched and honoured by everyone who chooses to spend their time with tea. What a beautiful choice to spend time in shared silence and stillness. Together.
And when it’s done in nature the connection to yourself and life just deepens.

So grateful. Wishing for more warm days so we can do more of these soon

This post is long overdue! The last few months were intense and very beautiful. beautiful in the most unexpected way. So I was just enjoying them to the full. It meant though, that my attention was elsewhere and I didn’t do any promotion or sharing of the events that are on offer. My attention is now a little bit more balanced and as the sun is shining and the temperatures are rising, the energy is returning to share all the magical events that are happening in the next few months.

~ Outdoor Tea Ceremonies ~ in the same location under the majestic tree in Kensington gardens. It will be very warm next week, and I am holding two tea ceremonies there.

~ Moon Tea Ceremonies are always an opportunity to slow down, to pause, to feel and connect.

~ Tea & Handpan Journey with Hannah Aiyana. She is such a skillful handpan player, makes her own ones and also runs her own handpan school. It will be magical.

~ Tea & Alchemy event with Robyn ~ this event starts with the tea ceremony to ground and open us, then nourishing lunch made by Robyn, and then the talk and exploration by Robyn about life. We have many conversations, moments of silence and laughs.

~ Awaken Your Senses: Tea Ceremony + Himalayan Breath with Nina. This is the most magical event that I always look forward to. Nina will guide us through the sensual awakening breath, and also a sound healing that includes her incredible voice (the soundtrack to this post is her!)

~ The Rouge Shop in Stoke Newington ~ Tea Ceremony ~ this is like a second home now

~ The Temple of Her Pelvis ~ with Samara ~ slow and subtle somatic movement and tea ceremony, these always feel so potent and opening

~ Re:Mind Studio ~ Tea & Sound Ceremony

~ Tea & Cello Ceremony with Garwyn, those who know - know how special and healing these are...

~ Fulham Pier ~ Pier by the Sea Tea Ceremony ~ new stunning location, the ceremony will be held with the amazing views of the river and vast sky, so if you live in West London, I hope you can join.

Looking forward to seeing many of you soon

What an honour it was to hold two tea ceremonies at project, based at They Crypt Gallery right next to Euston station!

The team behind it curated such an amazing programme of ceremonies, talks and workshops and as they are entering the last week there is still time to catch their events. All of which are incredible!

The photos capture a few glimpses from the tea and space, the always burning altar, and a video of the ceremonial tea cloth for tea ceremonies by .studio that is available for sale (I have my eyes on a few of them).

So much gratitude to and everyone in the team for organising this magic!

Dreamy setting for the tea ceremony at .pier last month ~ we had 18 guests and even though it is a big number for a tea ceremony, it was so cosy and intimate. And everyone was touched by the medicine of Tea.

This Saturday I am holding another tea ceremony there in the same beautiful setting with the stunning views of the river and I hope to see you there ♥️

A few moments from our December Tea & Breath event, with Breath part led by Yulia ♥️

I have been resisting more intense types of breathwork for a while, just didn’t feel right somehow. But I loved that this one was semi intense, not too long, amazing soundtrack journey and guided in a very loving gentle and tender way. I did cry that evening from being touched deeply by beauty. And, being someone who doesn’t often cry, when I do, I enjoy and savour it so much.

Grateful for the experience. Grateful to be doing more breathwork now.

Just wish someone held a tea ceremony for me afterwards each time like we did in our event to ground and be and feel even more.

In the last two weeks I dropped into the state of deep rest - just sleeping, eating, watching films, drinking tea with my mum, doing somatic practices and meditating. I have been so behind putting any events online, just couldn’t do it, there was no energy or drive. Whenever I started it felt forced, and fake. But in the last two days the energy returned and here we are, there was a flow and the imagery, posts and words just came.

There are many events this winter and march, in some new locations, and old but special ones too. I hope you can find something that calls you and we get to share many bowls of steaming tea on these cold days together.

~ Fulham Pier ~ Sensory Tea Ceremony ~ new stunning location, the ceremony will be held with the amazing views of the river and vast sky, so if you live in West London, I hope you can join.

~ Moon Tea Ceremonies are always an opportunity to slow down, to pause, to feel and connect.

~ Re:Mind Studio ~ Detox and Glow Tea Ceremony ~ did you know that Tea flushes out the toxins from our body, and mind too? It is the perfect medicine post festive season. Actually, it is the perfect medicine - always.

~ Awaken Your Senses: Tea Ceremony + Himalayan Breath with Nina. This is the most magical event that I always look forward to. Nina will guide us through the sensual awakening breath, and also a sound healing that includes her incredible voice (the soundtrack to this post is her!)

~ The Temple of Her Pelvis ~ with Samara ~ slow and subtle somatic movement and tea ceremony, these always feel so potent and opening

~ The Rouge Shop in Stoke Newington ~ Tea Ceremony ~ this is like a second home now, so happy to be back after a long break

~ Tea & Alchemy Workshop with Robyn ~ this event starts with the tea ceremony to ground and open us, then nourishing lunch made by Robyn, and then the talk and exploration by Robyn loosely based on 5 principles programme. We have many conversations, moments of silence and laughs.

Looking forward to seeing many of you soon

When Natasha from reached out and offered to collaborate on Tea Ceremony and Modern technology, aka biohacking, I had a wholehearted full body yes to that.

We already worked together maybe 7 years ago on Secular Sabbath x Rhye in London, and all those years after seeing what Natasha creates I knew that anything she touches will be unique, one of a kind, ahead of its time and will simply be an amazing magical offering. And I wanted to be part of it.

It was a beautiful day with several tea ceremonies. Unique space in Ladbroke Grove, Red Light Therapy and PEMF mats by , and goodie bags with the value that far exceeded the cost of the ticket.

If anyone created an event like this, where the Tea Ceremony was together with the biohacking and gifts, I would be there 100%. I actually wanted to be there as a guest! I loved every minute of it and again, I am in awe of Natasha’s work and her curations. And really honoured that she invited me to be part of this beautiful experience. She is going to hold many more events, all as unique as this so follow her here for future ones!

If I am not working, you will find me at one of her events for sure ♥️♥️♥️

Ever since I did my first Vipassana in 2008 I knew about the importance of feeling your feelings in a visceral way. At that time it was a huge revelation that there is a connection between thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. And the only way to get out of the vicious loop of intense escalating emotions-thoughts-sensations is by feeling the sensations.

It was mind blowing for me! But how difficult it was to actually do it! With some of them it was easy and deeply transforming, with some I could feel I ended up more traumatised from overwhelm.

So of course there were doubts if this is actually working, if feeling your feelings is the way. Maybe I can just transcend the pain and traumas somehow?

Then there was a retreat with Adyashanti, during which, when answering someone’s question about pain, he replied that you can just watch it passing by as an observer but then be prepared that it will come back again, and again, and again... But if you FEEL that pain - he said - then the root of it will be gone, and it will not come back into your life.

From all the people I met, women and men, enlightened or not, spiritual or not, it is those - mostly women by the way - who were able to feel their feelings - who impacted me most. There was always something in them, very powerful, authentic, alive. Magnetic. Magical. Deeply healing. Blissful. Real.

Feeling the feelings is The Way. It is both transcending and descending.

It is not easy by all means. It is nuanced. And often we need the presence of the witness to hold space for us in a correct way - a therapist, a coach, a women’s circle - to make it manageable.

But it is The Way. And Tea teaches us to feel.

I am still buzzing with Love and magic that the team at has created. It is pure magic, it is pure love and beauty, and generosity.

I am still mesmerised with the whole concept and how it works. I have no idea how it works but it does. The idea of the free festival where everything is free - entrance, workshops, food and wine, where the only exchange is your attention and curiosity is something that you rarely find in this world. And I find it truly inspiring.

Because of that, and because of the rigorous interview process to choose who will join, everyone who is there in the end is truly special.

I guess they choose open hearted, sensitive and receptive guests, who can feel things deeply and receive in the same way too. So each and every tea ceremony I held, and there were four of them, was deep, and flowing, and effortless. I was not holding it, it was just happening.

I always say that yes, it’s Tea. Yes, it’s the one who serves Tea. But also it’s the guests. Their presence contributes to the Tea pot and the tea that brews in there. We all contribute to it. Each of our presences is in that pot of tea that we drink.

And what amazing pots of tea we had infused with everyone’s presence and openness!

This interview process definitely works.

So many speakers inspired me. I missed all the talks and workshops because of serving tea, but talking and dancing with everyone afterwards was hugely inspiring and motivating. So much so that I could easily give up everything and join what they do. This year I served tea later in the day, and so there were a few late nights exploring Bucharest, incredible music studios, dancing and so much more.

I am touched on all the levels, tears of gratitude are still showing up in my eyes as I connect back to the weekend. The lenses, the filters separating me from the world are much cleaner, and fewer now too.

I am totally in LOVE.
