Gifts of the Feminine

The feminine has a soft way of working, a different power and strength than our over-masculinized Western cultures. The feminine is the gateway to a spiritual connection. With this event, we invite you to a celebration of feminine expressions and the gifts they bring us.

The Medicine of Tea ceremonies provide a gateway to the stillness that allows us to open and listen. It is a pathway to the heart, to that homecoming, to the Intimacy with all of what Life is. The Feminine way is also the way of pleasure, of savouring, of being fully immersed in whatever this moment presents, whether we are stroking our hair, or taking a shower, or walking in nature, or cooking. Tea teaches us this savouring; it teaches us to stay totally with what we are doing, becoming one with it.

Lera will be leading us through ChaDao Tea Ceremony: The Way of Tea. The Way of Love. It will be conducted in noble silence so we can be still, become open and deeply listen.

The Student of the Leaf, Lera’s mission in this world is to transmit peace, presence, love and harmony to others through tea. Lera discovered Tea several years ago, and started working with this Plant Medicine almost straight away, after joining the amazing tea community called Global Tea Hut. This was love at first sight, and from that moment on she adopted The Way of Tea as her Spiritual Practice. Tea Ceremonies were the most wonderful way to combine two things she was so passionate for – Tea, Spiritual Growth and Awakening. With awe and amazement, Lera observes time after time how tea transforms her, her life and others. How quickly Tea touches those who are open to it, how deeply it reaches everyone’s hearts, and how subtle but profound the inner transformation is.

The womb is a woman's temple, a place where we access creativity, as well as where we store positive and negative feelings. Reconnection with the womb space activates access to the feminine wisdom; it helps heal and release imprints stored in this sacred center. Connection and healing of the centre of creation also helps authentic expression, so the participants can find their voice of power.

Lera’s own spiritual journey started in 2006, after the complete disillusionment with the corporate sector and life that it offered. It started with the stay at Osho’s community in Pune and meditating every day from morning till night for some time, then led her to practice Vipassana and study Human Design, Vortex Energy Healing, Non Dual modalities. And all of these hugely help her in her own Tea practice. Many, who come to her tea ceremonies, are in awe how powerful and healing these sessions are, how much peace, harmony, and surrender they feel afterwards, and how much magic they start to notice in the ordinary moments of life.
