I am trained as a Cacaoista by Plant Spirit Medicine Woman and have been practicing personal tea ceremonies for over ten years. I can use your preferred beverage to help you center.
Would you like to try a beverage centering ritual to help you drink in the moment? It could be cacao, coffee, herbal tea, green tea or an infusion etc. I can help you pick your beverage. I will guide you as you drink with me to slow down and notice where you are so you can be more centered. You can also use this ritual to begin your creative practices or to start a coaching session.
Please contact me to schedule a berverage centering ritual or add it on to a coaching session.
The Cup of This Day
by Danna Faulds
Drink from the cup of this day as if it is exquisite nectar. Sip and savor, swallowing only when you have tasted all the subtle goodness and the flavors that it holds. This, your holy communion, needs no priest or scripture reading. It's enough to give your full attention to the moment. It has never been as fleeting or as sweet.
