Mindful Tea Ceremony with Leila
Imagine, waking up early in Amsterdam to the scent of fresh Chinese tea. This marks the beginning of the Mindful Tea Ceremony, an invitation to pause and savor the moment. Led by Leila, an experienced guide to Chinese tea, you’ll explore the subtle flavors of ‘Da Hong Pao Oolong’. This is a Chinese tea, known for its earthy aroma and calming properties.

As you take a sip, you can taste the slightly bitter undertone of the tea.This opens your heart and helps you to be receptive to yourself and your environment. All this is made possible by ‘Cha Dao’, the way of tea. This ancient tradition promotes mindfulness and connection with nature. The tea ceremony takes place in a quiet park in Amsterdam, where you are surrounded by the silence and beauty of nature. Let the warmth of the tea envelop you, as you slowly relax and immerse yourself in the experience.



Taoist Qi Gong with David
Under the guidance of David, an experienced practitioner of Taoist Qi Gong, you will be introduced to the simple, yet powerful movements of this ancient discipline. Feel how the energy flows through your body while you do the exercises. These exercises target specific meridians in the center of your body. This includes the stomach, spleen and kidneys. Qi Gong promotes the natural flow of Qi, blood, and other essential substances. In addition, it will also help you develop more perseverance. The kidneys play an important role in this. They preserve our essence and give us the willpower to achieve our goals. With regular practice of Qi Gong, you will restore your inner balance and feel more connected to yourself and the world around you.


Deepening the Experience
After the Mindful Tea Ceremony and Qi Gong session, we sit together in a circle. There is time and attention to share experiences with each other and to ask questions to Leila and David. It’s nice to listen to other people’s stories and share your own insights. This is a moment of true connection, where we come together to learn, grow and share in the joy of the moment.
