Tea Ceremony with Tara Benmeleh at the Garden

Tea ceremony — called “cha do” in Chinese or ‘The Way Of Tea’ — combines elements of artistry, spirituality, and connection, providing a gateway to a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe. While not classified as a psychedelic, tea has been recognized for its medicinal and psychoactive properties, making it a potent catalyst for personal growth and mindfulness.

Tara Benmeleh, a practitioner and guide in the world of tea ceremonies, offers a unique and transformative experience through her work. Tea becomes a vehicle for profound connection, both internally and externally. She creates a sacred space that encourages individuals to commune with themselves, fellow participants, and the world at large. Through this shared experience, Tara’s ceremonies impart feelings of peace, harmony, and moments of stillness and beauty.

What sets Tara’s work apart is its fluid and evolving nature. Her approach through “espiritútara” is experimental and intuitive, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of personal and spiritual growth. Through tea, Tara weaves a tapestry of mindfulness, artistic expression, and unity, inviting all to partake in the transformative power of the ceremony.
