Holding space in ceremony — tea and beyond…

Alicia Henry spent her childhood in awe of nature’s beauty and grace—her memories are painted with the pastels of hyacinths, the frosted facade of a birch tree, and the melancholy dance of the weeping willow. It is that mindfulness attained by the guidance of Mother Nature that she continues to explore through poetry, ritual, and tea ceremony.

Tea

Alicia has held space in ceremony from underneath palm trees in Venice Beach to the depths of the rustic Panamanian jungle. Founder and Herbal Alchemist of Naked Sage Tea, today, Alicia deepens her mindfulness practice through the ancient Daoist tea ceremony of Cha Dao (The Way of Tea)—this ceremony reawakens the plant/human connection while creating a peaceful space to experience mindfulness with each sip.

Beyond

Alicia facilitates ceremonies, women's gatherings, and retreats for fellow soul-travelers on the path of personal exploration. Her offerings are inspired by the ever-unfurling magic of Nature that connects us to Source, providing her the heart space to share these practices with others. 

Currently residing in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Alicia is writing a collection of poems channeled from the wisdom of tea leaves. A student of the Sacred Arts, she thanks her many teachers. Alicia is currently learning the practice of Cha Dao through the Global Tea Hut community.

Booking Your Ceremony

Weaving ceremony and ritual into life is a beautiful way of honoring rites of passage, transitions, or any special moment on life’s path. Ceremony brings us back to ourselves—and connects us with the natural world. In our current era, we have detached from many ancient ways of sustainably moving through the throes of daily life. Ritual and ceremony center us in deep remembrance.

If you feel called to bring ceremony into your life, I would love to hold space for you and your community by creating an experience that meets you where you are. 

Some occasions that may suit these ceremonies include: weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, home blessings, new and full moons, and blessing ways.

If you are interested in weaving ceremony into your special occasion, please send a message with the details of your vision in the contact form below.
