Music + Tea Ceremony
Experience a ceremony of stillness.
This gathering invites you to ground deeply into the present moment. You will taste some of the finest tea on earth, prepared in the gongfu style and served by Nathaniel Vinson, carrying a Chinese lineage of tea masters.
The music will be offered by Nicky Balachandran, a neo-classical pianist fully expressed from his energetic and ancestral roots, carrying the essence of indigenous expression.
(former: The music will be offered by Nicky Balachandran, a neo-classical piano performance fully expressed from the energetic and ancestral roots of the musician, carrying the essence of indigenous expression.)
Together, a profound connection in the spirit is formed, where all who participate are brought into a divine, sacred, ceremonial space. As the tea awakens your spirit and calms your mind the music flows with a spontaneous connection with spirit.
Let the tea and the music speak their quiet wisdom, revealing truths that can only be received through direct experience.
Our handcrafted tea room blends a meditative wabi-sabi aesthetic with indigenous cultural elements from around the world—calling in the spirits of all traditions to come together as one in the Common Ground.
In this space, the resonance of a grand piano, the intimacy of channeled improvisation, the scent of temple-grade incense, and the shared presence of community around the tea table weave together to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony—rooted in connection to our ancestors and to one another.
