Sip & Spell: A Tea Ritual For Intentions

A tea ritual session at Chelsea Physic Garden in London, built around setting personal intentions over a cup of tea.

Sip & Spell is a session built around a tea ritual, with the setting of personal intentions at its core. Tea is prepared and drunk as a deliberate, unhurried act, and the reflective part of the ritual invites each participant to name an aim of their own.

The session takes place at Chelsea Physic Garden, a botanical garden in the Chelsea area of London. It puts the emphasis on contemplation and on the act of taking tea together, rather than on demonstration or instruction alone.

It suits those curious about tea as a ritual and anyone looking for a reflective daytime activity. Visitors passing through London, and anyone wanting a contemplative start to a day out, are its natural audience.
