Last weekend at Luminae we gathered for a beautiful event, Return to Presence. 🌱✨
Our morning began with a meditative tea ceremony with Leia Layus and Tamu Mosely in a synchronized duet serving wild dehong purple dian hong tea. Alisha Morton tended water, living spring water as the essential element to keep the rounds of tea flowing.
Ivy Lee shared teachings from Chinese Medicine and Daoism. We explored how opening our five senses to experiencing allows us to connect into the present moment and intentionally live each day with more awareness, balance, and wellbeing. We talked about the interconnection and interplay that we have with the people, place, nature, and beings around us. And how we can be mindful of the quality of our presence and open more connection, meaning, purpose, and fulfillment within ourselves and in relation with others.
Grateful for the profound reflections, conversations, and sharing among the group. The gathering and experience inspired us all to deepen in presence and live in a more attuned way. ✨
