Tea in Riga

AN INVITATION FOR TEA ENTHUSIASTS 🍵 TēJā Journeys invites you to spend an entire day in the Dao of Tea & Silence on Saturday August 22. Throughout the day, different tea masters will serve tea in a series of ceremonies, each opening another doorway into the leaf, the water and the quiet. Between ceremonies, there is nowhere you need to hurry. 🌿 Rest by the Mūsa River or disappear into the old garden and simply stay in your own Dao. Or gently enter one of the small experiences happening throughout the park: sound healing, intuitive art, meditation and individual 1:1 sessions with our masters. The day unfolds mostly without words, allowing tea, nature, sound and presence to become the language. 🤝 In the evening, we break the silence together. We gather around the fire with acoustic guitar, move into live tribal music and finally open the circle to create sound together. TĒJĀ Journey · 21–23 August 🪷 Old park by the Mūsa River · Latvia/Lithuania border ✉️ Tickets are €35 today. Prices will rise. 🥘 Meals can be reserved in advance for just €5 per meal, through the same link as your ticket. Come for the tea. Stay for the silence. See what becomes audible when the noise disappears. Take a closer look at what you will meet here: Instagram.com/tejafestival

Community Tea Gathering on Saturday hosted by tea enthusiast Teimur @Teimurs Open tea circle for people who are curious about tea, meaningful conversations and mindful time together. 🫖 This is not a masterclass and not a “host–guest” format. We meet as equals — to drink tea, talk, share presence, or simply sit in silence. The gathering is open to both those who are just discovering tea and those who already have experience and would like to share it. Here, tea is: — part of world culture and a way to slow down, — part of a healthy and sober lifestyle, — a gentle support on an inner or spiritual path. 🤩 Format: This time we will meet in Rododendru park (Babite). Entrance cost 2€. You can bring your own tea and your favorite cup, or simply come as you are. 🤩 Date and time: This Saturday 11.07 at 12:00 The meeting is non-commercial. Donations are welcome to support tea, water, and the development of the format. 🤩 To join, please send a private message to @Teimurs
