RITUAL + RENEWAL Join us for a special 6-day retreat of deep renewal as we explore the power of ritual to bring us into the present moment and into the flow state. The ceremony of tea will guide the flow of each day’s activities, which include a day trip to the medina, time to enjoy a traditional tea ceremony at a beautiful luxe hotel in town, camel rides and a visit to the dunes and desert outside the town, shopping at the souks, a spa day at a luxury hammam and a tea blending workshop, time to relax on site by the pool, walking gardens, or with a massage and henna party, and daily yoga classes with flow and/or yin. Yin yoga, like tea ceremony, facilitates deep emotional release and heart opening and so accentuates our exploration of mindfulness, connection and slow, soulful living!

Guests will leave with an understanding of tea as a plant, a lifestyle and a divine beverage, as well as a personal tea ritual: a hand-blended tea and a daily practice to turn the mundane into meditation and tap into the bliss of the present moment.

This retreat is led by Sarah Scarborough of Tea Huntress. Sarah has devoted the last twenty years of her life to discovering the culture and agriculture of tea and sourcing the finest varieties. As a registered yoga teacher, she offers vinyasa classes rooted in the Ashtanga tradition, as well as Yin yoga to compliment the power of tea ceremony to connect and change us.
