SUMMARY:Rituals of Release: A Tea and Composting Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Composting is a sacred ritual of transformation\, honoring the cycle of life\, death\, and rebirth. We’ll begin with a sensory tea ceremony\, then write down something we’re ready to release. Finally\, we’ll compost the tea leaves and our notes\, trusting the earth to transform them—and ourselves. \nThis event is part of International Compost Awareness Week. Sessions will begin approximately at 12PM\, 1PM\, and 2PM. While waiting for the next session\, participants can enjoy a painting with food scraps activity\, a playful and creative way to transform your scraps into art. \nThis event is a collaboration between Tea\, Arts & Culture\, the Lower East Side Ecology Center\, and Pancho’s Garden. Private support is provided by City Parks Foundation and Partnerships for Parks through the NYC Green Fund.
