the gather: release

An afternoon where we welcome fall with Tea Time Gatherings, an intentional, invite-only community for women centered around meaningful connection. We gather substance-free. Sobriety is welcome, not required.Hosted with Viv of @altarism.coCome create, reflect, and share a meal as we ease into the slower season. Ticket Includes: Altar Workshop Led by Viv of @altarism.co. Join us for a contemplative and creative Altar Workshop that invites participants to take part in collaborative creation of a Mandala altar. Participants will explore the meaning of altars and specifically Mandalas, a sacred geometric form used in Buddhism and many other traditions as a tool for meditation, representing the world we live in, impermanence, and the interconnectedness of all things. Together, participants will engage in this practice, embracing both the beauty of creating together and the practice of letting go. The session will close with group reflection, offering space to integrate the experience and connect with each other. Fall Potluck Sign up to bring a dish to share and we’ll eat together to close out the afternoon. Bringing something is not required for participation.
