Chinese New Year "High Tea"
As we settle into the year of the Fire Horse, we created this intimate gathering to nourish you in this cold winter weather while sharing what's in store for the upcoming year.
What You Can Expect
🐎 Eastern Overview of Fire Horse Year
In Western media, the Fire Horse Year has been highly talked about as the year to take action and gallop forward with your personal and professional pursuits. But in the East, there's a completely different take for this energizing year and we'll dive into what you should know to safely settle into a solid year ahead.
🍲 Nourishing TCM-infused "High Tea" & Learnings
We'll be sharing an overview of how to nourish ourselves in the winter through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) while consuming TCM soups to help support warming and regulation of our bodies.
🌀 Guided Grounding Exercise and Reflective Group Shares
There will be time for guided exercises individually and collectively. We'll be doing a grounding visualization at the beginning to settle into the event then there will be individual journal reflection time. Near the end, we'll gather to share as a group.
📀 Gong Sound Bath
Before we part ways, you'll get to settle into a restorative and calming gong sound bath to seal the nourishing energy for the day.
