Alicia Henry, Ember’s tea poet, spent her childhood in awe of nature’s beauty and grace - it is that mindfulness attained by the guidance of Mother Nature that she continues to explore through poetry, ritual, and tea ceremony. Today, Alicia deepens her mindfulness practice through the ancient Daoist tea ceremony of Cha Dao (The Way of Tea)—this ceremony reawakens the plant/human connection while creating a peaceful space to experience the present moment with each sip. Alicia facilitates intentional gatherings and retreats for fellow soul travelers on the path of personal exploration. Her offerings are inspired by the ever-unfurling magic of Nature that connects us to Source, providing her the heart space to share these practices with others.
