Join us for the Essence of Tea | Weekend Immersion from Friday, June 7th through Sunday, June 9th, as we invite you to delve into the profound and intricate realm of tea. Hosted over a weekend in a private home sanctuary in Miami, Florida, this weekend intensive promises an immersive exploration of the foundational principles of tea, its culture, its energetics, and its deep connections to mindfulness and meditation.
Under the expert guidance of Adrienne Etkin, the driving force behind Admari Brands, and a seasoned tea student and educator for the past 17 years, this course offers a transformative journey aimed at enriching your understanding of tea and the art of sharing tea. Commencing with a Friday evening introduction to modern tea culture, participants will then delve into the core concepts of harmony, purity, and respect inherent in the way of tea before journeying through several different teas. Saturday’s agenda is dedicated to hands-on learning, covering essential tea techniques, preparation methods, and an engaging blending workshops. Through practical exercises, participants will refine their skills and deepen their understanding. On Sunday morning, the focus turns to mastery and practice, with dedicated sessions for reviewing key concepts, honing techniques, and culminating in student-led tea rituals. This final segment provides an opportunity for participants to showcase their skills and receive constructive feedback from peers.
During the course, participants will enjoy nutritious, mindful meals, a lively mixology event, optional morning tea and sound meditations, and an afternoon yoga break. This immersive experience transcends a mere intensive, evolving into a holistic wellness retreat set in the serene sanctuary of The Sageuary, a healing home for healers.
Each night, we will retire to our own lodging, and return early in the morning. For our out of town practitioners, there are several nearby hotels. Please request information with the application form.
While having some basic understanding of tea and meditation can be helpful, the only essential requirements are an open heart and a beginner's mindset. Whether you're just beginning your journey into the world of tea or are already a seasoned enthusiast, the Essence of Tea provides an enriching path towards mastering tea and cultivating self-awareness. This course is ideal for tea aficionados, yoga practitioners, meditation enthusiasts, and healing practitioners of all backgrounds who want to integrate tea into their personal practice and share its benefits with their communities.
