- **Event Description**: Join tea practitioner Scott Traffas for a community gongfu tea session. Aged puerhs and herbs will be offered freely to invite conversation, quietude, and connection, even if only to marvel at the silence that holds the stories we tell.

This gathering is a free way for Alembic participants  to come together as community and as fellow travelers on the path.

Perhaps like many other that attend events at The Alembic before returning to their study, Scott has spent decades exploring the various exoteric and esoteric traditions of the East and West.  His abiding interest in the intersection of Yoga, Tantra, and Ayurveda deeply informs his approach to gongfu tea curation.  Beyond the teas that are selected and their method of brewing, Scott is particularly interested in the qualities of becoming that constellate among friends, both old and new, around a tea table.  

What will be discussed this or any evening...?  Whitman's Leaves, The Experiment at La Chorrea, the sublime ethos of Judas Escariot, the vagaries of hyperreality, the Dark-Haired Girl, The Alembic itself!?

..given time (and tea)...even eternity will reveal itself...
