Chivito Cowa
Gongfu Tea Ritual
With Chivito
The mountains call to me
when I linger away too long.
The river’s song beckons me
to come on home.
For thousands of years, people would pilgrimage to a place in the nature where through ritual, contemplation and soulful conversation would reconnect and tap into what is called the river beneath the river of your life.
Join me in Tea Temple enshrined within old cedars and the songs of creek water. As we sit on floor cushions around the tea table, the forest is viewed through a large window where we may catch its scent, witness the shifting shades and colors, feel into its presence as it holds us in this ritual space.
We partake in a gongfu style tea ritual as we enter the deeper conversations that draw out the hidden layers, mythic motifs and sacred invitations. Gongfu style leaves are considered sacred, come from old trees, mountains and are carefully aged through time honored traditions.
The leaves are selected per the nature of our state of being as we enter the ritualized space. Some draw dispersed energy back into our center. Others takes us to “heaven” while others re-root us into the earth. We experience how the leaves or flowers are actually stewarding us through the experience and the conversations.
