Welcome Paul and Zoe! We are so excited for you to join this unique community, and we're so looking forward to meeting you. As you know, contemplative education is what we're all about at Naropa, and at the Naropa Tea House, we get to engage in contemplative practice, dharma arts, Zen philosophy, and more within a very relational context. It's this relational nature of tea that we hope to share with you very soon--keep an eye out for an invitation for us to connect over a bowl of tea. 😊🍵

--Drea and Sarah, Naropa Tea House Stewards

Audre Lorde said, "the struggle is the ritual." There is no doubt that struggle is upon us. Ritual gives us permission to make magic out of it. May this be a time of opportunity and communion with this wonderful Sangha of the mind-heart-spirit-body!
