This book is an exploration of the five elements through the practice of tea meditation. We explore the origin of tea, three forms of tea rituals, and the dance of water and leaves.

Since the dawn of time, we have woven rituals to remember the great web of Nature.

Jade Brunel is the founder of WAOTEA as well as a student of Chinese philosophy and a certified practitioner of Mindfulness Meditation, Yin Yoga, and Biodynamic Psychology.

This book is an occasion to honor the ancient ritual of tea, and its way. It is an occasion to sit with elemental wisdom, carried by the wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

"Humanness, in its essence, is to exist in relationship with the rest of Nature." [Jade Brunel]
