The start of a new season marks a new season of tea ceremony. One of my favorite things about tea ceremony is that it invites reflection and presence, and is a quiet ritual packed with history. I attended a demonstration where each of the utensils, movements, and sweets carried meaning and inspired mindfulness. In a world that often moves so fast, attending tea ceremony reminds me to slow down. As the season shifts, this felt like a reminder and invitation to move more intentionally, and find the calm and beauty in each moment.
