A Kemetic Yoga & Blue Lotus Tea Experience

Join us for a transformative journey through ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) wisdom combining ritual tea ceremony and sacred movement. This unique offering honors the spiritual traditions of Kemet through authentic yoga practices, breath work, meditation and the sacred blue lotus flower. The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) held profound significance in ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) civilization, serving as much more than just a beautiful aquatic plant. Representing rebirth and the origin of life, it was associated with the sun god Ra, as the flower emerges from water at dawn and closes at dusk, mirroring the daily solar cycle. Appearing frequently in tomb paintings and funeral objects as a symbol of rebirth, the deceased were often depicted holding or smelling the flower to ensure their resurrection.

Beyond spiritual purposes, it was used medicinally as a sedative, aphrodisiac, and for treating various ailments. Experience this ancient flower linked with pharaonic power and divinity. Sip the tea of the ancients, explore the origins of yoga, practice breathing techniques and discover the power within geometric postures and sacred rest.
