Over dit evenement
You are invited to experience the art of two dedicated practices/rituals: Tea Ceremony and Shibari on July 18th, Friday with Kozy and Leila at Salon Expose in Amsterdam. A Grounding process in which we begin with reflection and meditation within ourselves while sipping tea mindfully and consciously, deepened by the connection within ourselves and others.
For the Tea Ceremony (‘Cha Dao’ 茶道, the way of nature through tea) as the opening ritual, Leila will present specially selected tea and guide you through a tea meditation that cultivates mindful process and fluid flow in a harmonious atmosphere that brings us together and improves our taste bud and senses, health and soul.
The art of Shibari (a form of rope bondage originally from Japan) is the physical as well as emotional process that ties it all together - the process of desires to action, the balance of the power, the surrendering and the feeling of intensity/chaos and stillness/peacefulness. Shibari has been evolving as a flexible and fluid art form that can also be enjoyed for sensual, sexual, creative exploration and performance.
We will start the evening with a grounding tea ceremony, putting us in the right mindset to fully appreciate what the evening will bring us.
After that we will have 3 performances by different artists, each accompanied by a fitting tea to complete the experience.

Spiderkiss - Beren
