What does the cup say? Join us with instructor Jezmina Von Thiele to learn the history and methods of tea leaf reading!
Have you ever been curious to know what a simple cup of herbs could tell you? To bring their symbols and messages to life, just add water. In this workshop, students will have the opportunity to learn the origins and techniques of tea leaf reading (also known as tasseomancy or tasseography), as well as grow in their divination skills while gaining relevant and essential knowledge regarding history and cultural context.
Together we will cover:
-a ritual for tea leaf reading
-different tea leaves and how to approach them
-common symbols found in the cup practices for developing your intuition
-the cultural and historical context for this form of divination, as well as how to respectfully engage with it.
Students will be emailed a PDF of notes after the class.
