🌸 S A K U R A 🌸

Heavenly example of the fine tuned refinement of the senses and craftsmanship. The art of hospitality has been refined here in every detail. Taking copious notes for the @liveritual Experience Design workshops and Atlas.

I keep a sketching and writing journal while on the road as an integration and digestion practice for all that is being absorbed and experienced. It help me process and embody the wisdom. I’ve been meditating with plants this trip, each place noticing the different variety of flora and flowers, and allowing their energy to be medicine for the soul, a teacher with a unique message and essence. The practice has been intoxicating and deep. I encourage you to find a moment to sit with a flower for a few minutes, and listen to what it has to share with you. The wisdom is already there, the flowers are reflecting the beauty that is already within. // I hope to share the wisdom that I’ve collected from my journeys on @liveritual when I return. #grateful #plantwisdom #natureismedicine

🌸 sending love on this full moon! SPRING has arrived. Potent time: Full moon, Easter Sunday, April Fools, and Spring Equinox! May this time be a celebration of rebirth, aliveness, beauty, joy, vitality and service! #cherryblossom #ripe #springawakening #japaniversary

Grateful for this gorgeous soul sister @minajlee88 and our week together in Shanghai, tuning into our dharma and next chapter of being and service, as bridgers, cultural translators and light workers between China and the US, in the interstitial space of creative business and spirituality. We committed our work on behalf of our collective Awakening. And we laughed and played in the miracle and absurdity until wee hours into the night, letting Spirit move. And drank lots of tea. Thank you for holding me with such loving respect and commitment to soul freedom. Raising a tea cup, ❤️❤️❤️ Look our for updates for our first China expedition in October 2018! 🙏✨ #sisterhood #wisdomandlaughter #eastmeetswest

Xi Lai: ancient temples on sacred land, sweet orange and fruit trees, and an emerging zen center for all of China. #zen #realchina #sichuan

I just spent the last 2 days at zen master temple in Sichuan province of China, studying the art of zen living and community, as well as Chinese tea ceremony. Humbled and heart opened by this incredible community of practice, and the power of love and compassion in this world. ❤️🙏👌

Xi Lai: this sacred land is Home to ancient agriculture and Chinese zen.

I spent hours exploring the Jing’an Buddhist temple in the center of Shanghai, a true sanctuary in a bustling cosmopolitan center. The serenity and sense of devotion of the thousands of monks who live and pray there was palpable. Every corner infused with love and beauty. Jade carved paintings and lotus shaped architecture. Deep bow to this lineage and those who devote their lives to the enlightenment of all sentient beings. #sacredpause #urbantemple #beautyispeace

One of my missions for this trip to China is to explore a new tea house each day, sampling and experiencing the diversity of this exquisite medicine. Each vessel, serving method and practice presents a new experience, and therefore teaching. Honored to be able to receive these blessings while I’m here, and looking forward to bringing people here to experience China through the lens of tea. 🙏

Watercolor meets porcelain on textures rice paper. The art in Shanghai touches my soul. The blending of old and new, fluid and solid. Faded and bright. A city of polarity energetic which make up this feminine shining city. ❤️
