Chai O'Clock
BREW. STEEP. SIP.
The simple, sacred process of making and enjoying tea is similar to the process of living a life steeped in clarity, ease, and peace.
Join me for a weekly teatime wellness and meditation break. Every Wednesday, Chai O’Clock begins at 3:30p EDT. A 45-minute pause where, unhinged from tasks and to-dos, stillness time warps you into space of possibility. In Ayurveda, this space is Purusha - the supreme, unmanifested space of pure divine unlimited creative potential.
Experience how the simple ritual of making and enjoying afternoon tea supports nervous system health and immunity balance.
In cozy comfort of your home. Nested in favorite chair or meditation cushion. Holding your favorite teacup or Libre bottle infuser. Gathering with longterm friends. Meeting new friends. Teatime is ancient gathering place, where Souls meet in heart space.
Enjoy a cup of tea and learn to infuse more ease and joy in your daily routine.
Welcome to a weekly adventure of learning to infuse your life with more wellbeing and creative potential, by weaving the tea making process into daily self-care rituals. Each week’s teatime includes:
BREW. The Tea. Before our gathering, brew your favorite cup of tea. For monthly subscribers, I’ll share the weekly tea recipe before Chai O’Clock. Snacks encouraged. Once a month, I’ll share some of my favorite Ayurvedic snacks.
STEEP. The Pause. A 10-minute guided meditation, using simple stretches, an easy breathing practice, and rejuvenating Ayurvedic stress-relief treatment. Taking time to steep in a self-care moment infuses wellness into your body and mind.
SIP. The Lifestyle Tips. From my 24-years of experience weaving Ayurvedic holistic lifestyle rituals into my daily routine, and sharing them with thousands of clients. You’ll learn easy, effective, and enjoyable holistic wellness tips to weave into your daily routine.

New Moon Dreamscape Gathering
Prepare for and welcome October’s new moon in Libra, by adventuring into water element and second chakra. Kidneys are highlighted in this moon, so this event helps you better filter what’s truth versus malarkey; and, release toxic mental thoughts and stagnant creative blocks.
The new moon is auspicious time to set intentions and begin baby stepping towards new career dream and/or creative goal. New Moon Dreamscaping Gathering will help align your intuition and creative power with new moon magic.
Begin new cycle of dreamscaping heart’s desires. Experience energy shifts via diving into personal practice AND sharing in sacred commUNITY space.
New moon is earthly moment of darkness. It’s a spiritual moment of mystery and new possibility. Darkness either triggers fear of unknown; or, darkness creates sense of mystery. During change and uncertainty, fear affects power to create. One’s energy becomes blocked or locked. Yoga, breath, gathering in commUNITY, supports one’s ability to unlock powers of curiosity and wonder, thus, opening doors to new life adventures.
Friday October 1 from 6:00 - 7:15 EDT
Dive into dark depth of vast unknown and find treasure trove of creative magic:
Portal into heart space thru slow flow yoga sequence and ignite Soul’s light
Poses and acupressure supporting second chakra and kidney energy
Clear mental blocks with ancient, transformative breathing practices
Guided meditation to shift into space of curiosity and confidence, align with Purusha, and manifest one's life goals and heart's desires
