Tea leaf reading isn't just a plot twist from Harry Potter- its a long used, time-honored method of powerful divination. In this 2 hour workshop, you will learn about the history of Tasseomancy (tea leaf reading), what the process of reading leaves entails, and how to use your intuition to spot different symbols - and how to successfully interpret them, too. We will close with an opportunity for you to read your own tea leaves and practice with your peers. Includes a symbology and interpretation cheat sheet you can take home.

Participants who register by Saturday September 5th within the US will receive a special tea sampler packet in the mail! Please make sure the mailing address you regester with is correct, we can not provide replacements for lost shipments.

PLEASE HAVE WITH YOU:

• Teacup and saucer. Teacup must be white or light-colored on the inside and will preferably have more of a bowl shape.
• Loose leaf tea. A cut-leaf tea like English breakfast or a honeybush or rooibos work best.
• A way to boil water.
• Your intuition!

TO DO PRIOR TO WORKSHOP:

• Get to know your tea! Practice savoring your tea as a mindfulness practice to help you land in your body, in the present moment.
• Look at the tea carefully and notice everything you can about its appearance.
• Smell it and notice all the aromas.
• Touch the cup to your lips and notice the warmth and texture.
• As you take the first sip, really taste it — all the flavors — from when it first touches your tongue until after you swallow it.
• Give yourself a moment to sink into a place of deep appreciation and enjoyment.

This is a LIVE digital event with a 2 week replay video post class. Due to this, no refunds are available.

This soap is a dedication, a spell for, and of Aphrodite. An invocation of self-love, truth, and embodiment through grounded knowing that you are worthy, that you have inherent worth. This soap is an invitation to start a self-devotional practice and to step into your own power as a manifestation of the Goddess. 

The soap is gentle blue in color, thanks to Indigo powder - which magically holds space for Divine connection. Black Lava Salt dispels negative energy and provides a gentle exfoliation. The essential oil blend is a formulation of strength and trust in your own truth - hints of grounding cypress and cedarwood, sweet cysts, and delicate clary sage, and earthy salt. 

The story of this soap:

Sitting on the shore of a Greek beach, running my hands through the fine sand and pebbles, I picture the soft sway of Aphrodite’s dance in the water. Picking up and examining the polished granite and marble stones I imagine that hundreds of pieces of ancient Venusian statues have been softened by this ocean to make the remnants I hold in my hand.

I close my eyes and inhale the brininess of the beach along with the cypress trees somewhere in the distance. The cistus flowers I picked earlier left their sticky residue on my fingers- intoxicating, sexy, full bodied. I take in the smells of Greece, the feeling of calm and reverence for this ancient place. Delicate clary sage blossoms, old growth cedar trees, the sun-warmed salt on my cheeks. The scents dance together along with Aphrodite.

The ocean sighs joyfully, propelled forward by a thunderstorm in the distance. Lightning strikes the surface every fifteen seconds, sending surges through the water. I undress and dip into the ocean to feel this power wrapped around my skin, the water charged with every emotion I’ve ever known. I swim, feeling held by Love: a mother’s, friend’s, lover’s, and my own.

I talk to Aphrodite like she’s sitting by the small fire I’ve made on the beach. We watch the lightning storm together and I feel strength, quick truth, and embodied ecstasy dripping off her like honey. She is the Empress, lush and fierce.

Sweet almond, jojoba, avocado, and olive oils are all easily absorbed, delivering a thirst quenching drink to dry, irritated skin - imparting lasting hydration, vitamins, and antioxidants. Use a few drops directly on skin as a massage oil, or after a shower while skin is still damp to help lock in moisture. Learn tips for self-massage on our blog!
