Tea and Prayer - A Living Practice

Tea and prayer writing is a commitment to showing up and sitting into the discomfort and beauty of being a messy human. Please come ready to sit on the floor. Bring a journal and pens/colored pencils. We will write and rewrite our prayers to ourselves after tea meditation.

The Buddha taught: “If you are standing on one shore and want to cross over to the other shore, you have to use a boat or swim across. You cannot just pray, ‘Oh, other shore, please come over here for me to step across!’” To a Buddhist, praying without also practicing is not real prayer. -Thich Nhat Hanh
