Description

$35 Admission \\\ Hosted onsite at Lakewood in the Historic Memorial Chapel About this event Life is filled with transitions and losses, and grief often accompanies them. Yet little space is set aside to acknowledge and process this powerful emotion. On this special threshold day, come experience a silent, meditative tea ceremony where grief is welcomed, in one of the most beautiful and sacred spaces in our city -- the Lakewood Memorial Chapel. This ceremony will be offered at two times on the Summer Equinox, Sunday, June 20, 2021: 4:30-6:00 p.m. and 6:30-8:00 p.m. Cost is $35* (plus tax). Please bring a journal for post ceremony reflection. Dress comfortably and come as you are. Your guide, Christin Ament, provides grief and end-of-life support as a palliative care, hospice provider and death celebrant. She was trained in Taiwan by Buddhist Monks on Cha-Dao, the art of Tea, and has led tea ceremonies around the globe. This event will be held in Lakewood's historic chapel, a short distance from the front gates at 36th & Hennepin. Parking is available along roads near the building. There is a handicap-accessible entrance to the chapel. Questions? For questions about the event, call Lakewood at 612-540-5165 or email to [email protected]. *Lakewood is a nonprofit association.
