Global Tea Hut Gathering
Saturday, November 3 (10:00-12:00)
Do you like tea and meditation?
Global Tea Hut is a tea community created by Tea Sage Hut, a non-profit organization based in Taiwan which serves as a tea and mediatation temple and school dedicated to promoting the tea leaf, organic and sustainable agriculture, and tea’s potential as a transforming element inviting harmony into our lives.
Every month we gather at Ceremonia del Té for a Global Tea Hut gathering where we share a meditation session, tea ceremony and speak about all things tea related. We share the tea of the month and comment on the monthly Global Tea Hut magazine articles or topics.

Tea & Sound Experience with Sonando #1 (Full Moon Edition)
Michie Kuwashima: tibetan bowls; Guillermo Rizzotto: guitar sound textures; Antonio Moreno: Tea Ceremony
The Full Moon Tea Ceremony is a precious chance for deep relaxation and sacred space to nourish ourselves and reconnect. We connect with nature through the tea leaves, we connect to ourselves through our meditation and we connect to others through the shared experience. The full moon is a wonderful opportunity to let go of that which we no longer need or want, inviting change into our lives and shedding light on that which we no longer need and can release.
We will begin with a short welcome and introduction before commencing. We will then proceed with the tea ceremony, sharing a few cups or bowls of tea in silence. Lastly, we’ll save a little time for questions and for sharing our experience etc.
This tea ceremony will flow accompanied by a live sound experience performed by Sonando道
Sonando makes sound scapes that lead us to our Inner Silence. Tibetan bowls and ambient guitar textures fuse together with the vibrations of the participants, inviting us to a meditative space where each encounter is unique and ephemeral, just as in life… ichi-go ichi-e.
We invite you to live the present, where we’ll hold space for something to emerge and transform towards simplicity and oneness.
Limited Seating. Reserve at Čaj Chai Barcelona Teahouse. Price: 25€.
