Tea Sharing Sessions and Gatherings

The sharing sessions and gatherings offered by Le cerf-volant and its host Raphaël are carefully crafted through an altruistic, inclusive, and organic approach. Run solely on a donation basis, those public events naturally give birth to safe, salutary, flowing, and unhurried spaces of multilayered, free, and open expression for tea and people to blossom. This union of universal languages nourishes and tends an appreciation for the impermanences coloring our daily life and the plurality of the precious teachings stemming from tea and its ethereal contemplation.
