"TEA 101- the Basics" & Wellness Through Tea" Content

 Tea Wellness Workshop Description:  Tea is a part of every culture around the globe, and is second only to water in worldwide beverage consumption. This very popular class is intended to teach you about the importance of reducing inflammation so that you can enjoy the very highest quality of life. This is a “game-changing” class for those in need of the “fast track” to wellness. Right now, many need a reminder of the basics to get back on track after what we've all been through.  You will be introduced to Integrative holistic health principles that support a high quality of life. After a Matcha smoothie, we will be tasting a White, green Oolong Black and Tisane (preparing and tasting at least 1 tea from each category). Many Organic and Biodynamic teas and plant allays grown on  our Light of Day farm in Leelanau County will be harvested, prepared, tasted and explained. Joyful and powerful holistic healing tools will be demonstrated to help you effectively shift your suffering to peace through a daily “grounding” exercise, “forgiveness” exercise, and “asking” exercise. 
During the farm tour, you will be inspired to broaden your awareness of naturally occurring cycles and rhythms, heighten your sense of appreciation for the world around you, be more compassionate, respect and revere all life, and marvel in its interconnectedness.
It is time to wake up, absolutely radiate love, and realize your full power as the magnificently created human being that you are.
Please come with an open heart, a clean palate, and wearing comfortable clothing. Bringing snacks is a good idea since we do not have prepared food on site.
Class size limited intentionally to keep intimate.
Tea has so much going for it…and you’re going to have fun slurping your way through this wonderful and memorable class!
Private groups of up to 12 welcomed by reservation. Yurt classroom occupant capacity is 21.
