The EARTH is alive with offerings.

Every season carries its own medicine, its own rhythm, its own invitation to deepen. In Tea Alchemy, we step into relationship with the plants around us - not as ingredients to be used, but as allies and wisdom keepers. We meet them as co-creators in the art of nourishment. This in-person workshop is more than a tea-making class. It’s a collective act of listening. A step towards weaving yourself back into the land. A ritual of care and energy-tending.

Gather living herbs, blend dried flowers and roots by hand, bless & infuse them with the unseen, and create tinctures that hold the essence of the land, awaken your senses, & nurture your body’s needs.

It will be a magical afternoon.

Snag Your Spot

PLANTS are our closest ALLIES, and can bring you into communion with the LAND, your BODY, and the UNSEEN forces that shape our world.

  • This workshop is open to curious newbies, studying herbalists, and seasoned witches. All are welcome. If you:

    • Feel called to work with plants in a way that is relational, not extractive

    • Want to create intuitive herbal blends that support body, mind, and spirit

    • Are seeking a deeper, earth-rooted practice of nourishment and ritual

    • Want to explore tea as a meditative & ceremonial experience

  • When you attend TEA ALCHEMY, you’ll explore:

    • Seasonal Foraging & Plant Connection. Learn to identify, gather, and work with local plants in a way that is reciprocal and attuned.

    • The Ritual of Tea Making. Move beyond recipes into intuitive, body-led blending, listening for what your system needs and how the plants respond.

    • Infusion as Alchemy. Steep, decoct, and work with different methods to draw out the full expression of each herb.

    • Tea as Portal. Explore how wild-foraged plants can be grounding, meditative, and ceremonial medicines, and entryways into deeper presence.

  • Please join us! No prior herbal knowledge is needed, just a willingness to listen, to slow down, to be in conversation with the land.

  • Lunch will be catered by a boutique local POC chef who specializes in Mediterranean cuisine. Their food is AMAZING. We will happily accommodate gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, and special dietary needs. We’ll reach out before the event for dietary preferences.

  • In person! In NYC. We’ll meet at Temple Studios in the Lower East Side and go foraging in Prospect Park.
