Tea Puja

A gathering for mindfulness, presence, and ceremonial tea.

Join tea monk Kursten Brewer and meditation teacher Mudra Love for a contemplative and embodied tea drinking ritual. Our ritual may involve offerings of water, flowers, incense, light, and food before we enter into our tea meditation.

These meditations are less guided and structured, and more intuitive in nature. We’ll savor rose, pu erh, and chrysanthemum from Kursten’s unique selection of ceremonial-grade teas. Conversation is kept to a minimum, though not discouraged. Participants are invited to hone in on their mindfulness skills and discern when to engage and/or withdraw.

Together, we’ll slow down, sip intentionally, and create space for presence, reflection, and connection.

We hope you’ll join us 🌷

Kursten Brewer brings a wealth of wisdom in the art of pouring, serving, and savoring tea. Blending his deep knowledge of tea with experience in meditation and Gene Keys readings, he guides others through a process that invites quiet reflection and a deeper inward journey—all while enjoying exquisite ceremonial-grade teas.

Mudra Love is originally from Kathmandu, Nepal. Her introduction to meditation began with her father, a Buddhist monk of the Zen/ Chan tradition. Over time, she deepened her practice through training programs including Mindfulness Meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). She currently practices at a Tibetan temple in Nu’uanu.
