MY STORY

Tea first called to me as a whisper. Despite not knowing anything about the spirit medicine aspects of tea or the ritual itself, I decided to join a course to learn how to start my own tea practice. The instructor spoke about how Tea helps you connect more deeply to nature which struck a deep longing inside of me. At this time in my life I felt trapped in a big city, working long hours in the hospital and far from my community. As I began my own tea practice and connected with this spirit medicine, my daily tea ritual became an anchor in my life. It offered a space to pause, reflect, grieve, release stuck emotions, receive, and just be. I loved feeling the dried tea leaves in my hands and seeing them swirl in the tea bowl, after only ever drinking tea from tea bags. I loved watching the leaves unfurl and loosen in the hot water and the steam rising off of my tea bowl. I loved how each time I sat with tea, my experience was different. I was able to just show up to my practice and let the rest unfold.

Starting my tea practice and building a relationship with this medicinal plant allowed me to be held by nature and, in turn, connect to my own true nature on a deeper level.

“The tea ceremony was filled with such intention and support from the moment when Meggie opened the ceremony to the brewing, pouring, and drinking of the tea. I felt such profound heart opening, care, and support throughout the ceremony. Meggie offered us all such a warm and grounded space and led us through a truly moving and healing practice.”

Meggie is based in Boston, MA and works as an oncology Nurse Practitioner. Outside of the hospital, Meggie makes pottery, using many of her own creations in her tea ceremonies. She has always had a love for deeper connections beyond the surface, finding herself exploring the transitional or liminal spaces. She recently completed a death doula certification program, with an interest in bringing ritual and ceremony back into these transitions.
