Join Luna and Sarah in the Terra Nova Teahouse in Santa Fe, NM every other Sunday for tea and meditation.

Luna will open up the space by guiding us through a deep meditative journey.

After we emerge from our vision spaces, we will transition into tea time.

Sarah will serve tea and hold space for contemplative conversation around the tea table.

Address will be provided upon booking.

Tea is steeped into the foundation of Terra Nova.

Sarah fell in love with the practice of artistically preparing and drinking tea in 2021, around the time the Terra Nova vision first came through my body and started brewing in my consciousness. In fact, nearly all of the founding members of Terra Nova came into my life through tea sits that lasted all day at West China Tea.

Steep after steep, the tea began to breathe Life into the vision. We sat around the tea table at my home in Austin and spoke our wildest dreams into existence. Our words and laughs lingered in the incense filled air.  We dared not only to imagine our visions for Terra Nova, but tuned into the sensations of it, as if we were already there, experiencing it for ourselves. Terra Nova is the frequency that naturally arises around the tea table. A space where all are invited to freely express themselves and be received and loved on by the community.

That’s the power of tea. It brings us into the present moment through a luxurious journey through the senses. It is simple and profound. Words don’t have to be exchanged, but there is without a doubt an exchange happens when you share a cup of tea with someone. You are connected by the leaf, which naturally reminds you of your inherent connection to all Life. For me, what matters, is how it makes you feel. Not just the tea itself, but the experience of steeping in presence with a friend, admiring the beautiful tea wares, the sounds of the water boiling, the steam on your skin, the heavenly scent of incense burning…

“If we’re not mindful, it’s not tea that we’re drinking but our own illusions and afflictions. If the tea becomes real, we become real. When we are able to truly meet the tea, at that very moment we are truly alive.”
