Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver near the Summer Solstice, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for an animist ea drinking ceremony and prompts towards direct encounters with plant spirit beings.

This recording explores plant personhood through suggested hands-on exercises and rituals to deepen plant-and-human kinship with seasonal flowers rooted in magick tradition, Chinese Taiwanese Tea traditions, and herbalism. We work with the forms of “windows” and “mirrors” to invite co-presence, mutual recognition, and shapeshifting with a selection of specific flowers and plant allies.

Join animist-occultist and spirit communicator, Mimi Young of CEREMONIE, celebrated on goop and Salem Witch Fest for a guided esoteric tea experience and immersive encounters with a curation of seasonal plants and their spirits.

Coupled with the Tea explorations, the recording engages in somatic (external) and spirit work with the following plants below, working with their archetypes, personhood, and lore:

• Rose (Bulgaria)

• Mugwort (Wild from Korea)

• Mandrake (Mediterranean Europe)

You will also have a chance to hear what Mimi shares as mini readings with past ticket holders, and how these may even relate to you.

Please have the following supplies available:

• pen and paper

• tea (or herbs) and teaware of choice (for online attendees)

Duration:

~2 hours

Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver by Mimi Young, who has been twice featured on goop , this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for an unconventional tea drinking ceremony and direct encounters with Tea as an ally in witchcraft.

Tea and Tea rituals are meaningful practices found around the world. In Chinese cultures, Tea and the customs and ceremonies surrounding Tea go back before Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism, to Chinese shamanism, otherwise known as Wuism. Mediums and other spirit workers would pick leaves in the mountains nearby temples, dry them, make them into tea, which were then used during meditation, divination, and sorcery. Tea as plant medicine and a tangible tool in spellcraft.

Engage with the Unseen through Tea not only as a plant that can be made into a sacred drink, but also as a tool in outer temple witchcraft spells. Relating with Tea animistically can invite us to reorganize energies, resulting in the release and activation of desirable change. Through tea-based witchcraft, we will increase our capacity for engagement with Mystery and magick, and participate in the interconnection of life.

• A guided Tea Sit to check in, deeply listen, and dialogue with our inner selves and spirit allies

The I Ching (The Book of Changes), the oldest Chinese oracle, divination text and philosophical system is said to be birthed and used from ~1150 BCE, around the same time Tea was discovered as a plant medicine.

Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for psychic insights and unstucking through doodling.

Through an online tea ceremony led by animist spirit medium, Mimi Young, combined with creative therapy / art therapy, we open ourselves up to receive guidance from our spirit guides, and where our psychic muscles can further develop.

Doodling to Heal, with a Tea ceremony

Doodling engages our brains in the theta state. Theta waves, one of the five types of electrical pulses generated by the brain, often occur during meditation, dreaming, or deep relaxation. Research suggests theta waves play a significant role in processing information and forming memories. Doodling offers insights, serving as an oracle and catalyst for our needs to emerge, spiritual healing, and what’s coming into our auric fields.

Through this recording, you’re invited to choose teas and engage in the relaxing creative therapy activity of doodling. As you draw and play, you may notice how you feel easeful, intuitive, and flowing opening you up to deeply psychic insights.

What to expect:

• Practical theory on the role and power of working with theta brainwaves in both a physiological and spiritual healing perspective, based on Mimi’s training and experience in neurofeedback 

• The opportunity to be easeful and daydream through the practice of doodling

• The relationship between doodling and magical sigils in spellcraft

• The space to step away from performance and productive creativity and simply be and have fun

• Be held by a selection of Tea and their spirits (based on your own selection of teas / herbal tisanees), both physically and energetically

• Your chance to hear what Mimi shares as mini readings with past ticket holders, and how these may even relate to you!

Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for psychic insights and unstucking through collaging.

Through an online tea ceremony led by animist spirit medium, Mimi Young, combined with collage making as art therapy, we make way to receive guidance from our spirit guides. What we create becomes a form of therapy artwork and oracle card making, where psychic training can take place.

Collage making is a therapeutic art method to remind ourselves of our ability to show up in our lives in refreshing ways, in ways that we want to. The process itself can mimic a shock or severance, then a processing and accepting that paves way to meditation, healing ritual, and a place to reconstruct. Coupled with Tea, we will be approaching the concept of collaging through all 6 senses.

Collaging is about working with what we have, playing and creating something different, something that fits, and in the safety of holding both reality and the imaginal. Working in the context of Tea animism and spirit communication, we can work in collaboration, with the Seen and Unseen, and develop a ritualization of noticing what our actual experience is at the present moment. By being here in the present, we learn to attend to ourselves, trust ourselves and enjoy ourselves, moving from fear and into our values and desires.

Sitting with the combined ceremony of Tea and healing collage making, timed with the approaching Summer Solstice, makes the hidden visible. No art making experience is necessary. This session will be playful, in flow, and one that leans into the delights of the summer! It will also be the last Magick of Tea until the fall.

What to expect from the recording:

• Content in how to relate with Tea in an animist perspective, and how to listen to the Tea spirit and other plant spirits.

• ~2 hours of space holding so you can step into ease, fun, and for your nervous system to rest. Be open to spiritual healing. No experience in healing art or collage work is necessary!

• The invitation to divinate or foretell from the collage(s) you create, much like interpreting an oracle card.

• Your chance to hear what Mimi shares as mini readings with past ticket holders, and how these may even relate to you!

Please have the following supplies available:

• pen and paper

• old magazines that can be cut up

• scissors

• glue stick

• tea (or herbs) and teaware of choice

Originally offered as a live-stream and in-person in Vancouver, this recorded Magick of Tea holds space for psychic insights and practical magic through designing incantations.

Through an online tea ceremony led by animist spirit medium, Mimi Young, combined with learning witchcraft (word-based, with an emphasis on incantations), we make way to receive guidance from our spirit guides, and where psychic training can take place.

Conjure desired energies through the combined practice of incantations and tea ceremony

Incantations are a series of intentionally strung words that are said aloud, chanted, or sung, as a magick spell. Incantations wield power, capable of altering consciousness, shifting perceptions, fostering change, and invoking spirits (including ancestors and other spirit guides).

Tapping into the core energetics and the voice of Tea as a plant teacher, we will be guided by some newly landed spring harvested teas, to connect with our deepest selves, channel creative words, and conjure desired energies through the practice of incantations in a safe and intimate group setting.

What to expect:

• Practical theory on word-based magick, and how incantations work

• Opportunity to craft your own word-based spell and incantation

• The space to engage in spellwork

• Be held by Tea and their spirits, both physically and energetically

• Your chance to hear what Mimi shares as mini readings with past ticket holders, and how these may even relate to you!
