We are skyrocketing through to the end of the summer! August is always bittersweet, with some of the most beautiful twilight sunsets and stolen moments of forestbathing, maybe early morning hikes or outdoors time with friends and family.
Everywhere you go, the plants are holding you.
They are the grandparents. The caretakers. The ones that make our lives possible. From the houses that we live in, to the fuel we pour into our cars, to the food we eat and the air we breathe. They are here for you.
And every time you are rocked by a force that comes into your life overnight, stripping you of stable ground, there is a world of quiet green giants, and of tiny tendrils both, that will see you and accept the storm within you— will love you exactly as you are.
Mid-summer, in all of its fecund splendor, offers the perfect climate to sharpen an environmental awareness which we can carry into the dream world, and use to explore relationships between these realms of the sun and moon.
TeaFestPDX is an annual celebration of tea and tea traditions from around the world. Tea lovers and the tea-curious alike will find many things to delight and participate in, including classes, vendor booths, mobile teahouses, and an outdoor British tea tent.
