Upcoming Events & Retreats – Tea Ceremony and Mindfulness
Appreciating the way of nature and the simple things in life, through a mindful, meditative and yet transformative Tea Ceremony that we call ‘Cha Dao’ 茶道 rooted in ancient China (around 5000 years of history). This is the power of making a conscious ritual in our times, that after experiencing the realness in it, we know we can always come back to this present place to just be, relax, heal and connect to what’s within and beyond us.

Micro-dose Tea Ceremony with Yoga (‘Loving Kindness Meditation’ Special)
Kokopelli, Amsterdam
Nov 19, 2023
14:00 – 17:00
You are invited for our Micro-dose Tea Ceremony and Yoga (‘Loving Kindness Meditation for All’ Special Edition) on Sunday, November 19, from 14-17. The event (in English) will happen in the private space of the famous smart shop of Kokopelli, at the beautiful heart of Amsterdam overlooking the peaceful canal water. This is the special edition with an addition to a collective Metta/Loving Kindness meditation as an ancient tradition and collective prayer. In Pali — a language that’s closely related to Sanskrit — “metta” means positive energy and kindness toward others. We believe this is much needed in the challenging times to bring us together, send and vibrate from our presence into love, peace and compassion for the greater world.

Just take a deep breath, put some comfy clothes, get on your bike and join us. This retreat can help move through challenging emotions, energies and bring back present moments. It will also help quiet the mind in the busy world we live in, and brings creative insights & new patterns into daily life, that we can not often express through only words.

“Life changing experience! This is our first time doing meditation + tea rituals and a new door have just opened for us! Awesome meditation session! After the first breathing exercise my husband and I already feel so relaxed! The room is absolutely beautiful and Leila and her partner are such welcoming hosts – her partner even played us some tunes on his hand pan!! Definitely will recommend!”`

“I had the good fortune of participating at Leila’s tea ceremony and it was a very recharging and reconnecting experience. It really brought mindfulnes and awareness and made me enjoy the present moment so much. You do not only enjoy tea but also a taste of oriental culture. Leila is a wonderful human and the perfect person to guide you through this experience. She is full of good vibes and her voice is soft and soothing. I recommend this experience with Leila!”
