🍵CommuniTea Gathering for Chinese Diaspora [public]

​CommuniTea Gathering: Taster of the Ancestral Homecoming Journey
A gathering of 🐉 qi gong, 🍵 tea, 🫶 facilitated sharing circle and social time for Chinese diaspora friends.

​Before “self-care” became a buzzword, our ancestors already knew how to rest They rose with the sun, gazed at the moon, brewed herbs with the seasons, and gathered around tea to connect.

​You’re invited to a CommuniTea gathering hosted by Xuel & Tian Tian, co-creators of the 🌿 Ancestral Homecoming Community.

​Xuel and Tian Tian began hosting ancestral ceremonies, gatherings, and workshops in 2022, born from their own journeys as Chinese diasporas seeking home and remembrance.

​This year, they led a group of Chinese diaspora friends from the U.S. on a week-long ancestral homecoming journey to Dali, Yunnan. Participants described experiencing “vivid visions,” “connection with the sacred,” and “reclaiming parts once held back.”

​Moved by the depth of this work, Xuel and Tian Tian are opening invitations for a ✨ 2026 cohort ✨, continuing to share and grow this path of ancestral honoring and learning. This gathering at the Commons offers a sweet sampling of the nourishment we explore on retreat, through shared qi gong, tea, and heartfelt conversation.
