Tea and Weaving
Tea Ceremony &
Weaving Workshops
Offerings
Tea Ceremony is a silent meditation connecting us to ourselves, Tea, and nature. Tea meets us exactly where we are and this ceremony gives space for all that is present. Come receive the medicine of Tea and the spaciousness to simply BE.
If you are interested in a private Ceremony for a special event, please reach out.
It is such a joy to walk people through weaving and spinning workshops. Each workshop is a mix of structure and technique, and a fluid process of experimentation and exploration.
Sometimes workshops are paired with Tea Ceremony, others are paired with Spinning, dyeing, and knitting.
If you are interested in hosting a workshop or collaborating on a special event, please reach out.
About Me
I am Mackenzie, an Orcas Island local, offering Tea Ceremony and weaving workshops. I am the host Rooted Archipelago, but I work in community. All of my offerings are done so through collaborations and joint-efforts with other humans and the natural world.
I began my journey with Tea as a child who loved the English tea traditions, I enjoyed tea parties and drank tea daily my whole life. In 2022, I discovered Tea in a much deeper way, rooted in traditional ways of brewing and connecting more spiritually to the plant and natural world. This began first as a personal practice to bring me back to myself and connect to the earth after a season of great loss. Then this practice grew as an offering to bring people together in an intimate and peaceful meditative ceremony.
Shortly after moving to Orcas Island, I met my weaving mentor, Maria Nutt, and have been involved with the textile art community since. Part of this beautiful tradition of weaving and spinning involves passing on the skills. It is a great joy of mine to walk people through the creative process and watch new textiles be born.
