Tea & Tales

Pour yourself a comforting cup and slow down for an inspiring, restorative virtual gathering.
Join us on Zoom for Steeped in Well-Being, a special session featuring certified tea specialist Karen Donnelly. In this interactive session, Karen will explore the intersection of tea culture, mindfulness, and everyday vitality—guiding us through how intentional tea rituals can ground our daily routines, ease stress, and cultivate deeper well-being.
Whether you are a casual tea drinker or a devoted enthusiast, this gathering offers practical insights and a warm space to unwind, connect, and savor the moment.

Grab your tea and step into the circle! This month, we're tracing five generations of the Orchiére women as we discuss Louisa Morgan’s A Secret History of Witches. We'll be talking about mother-daughter dynamics, the burden of hidden magic, and how the coven used their power to alter the course of World War II.
