Tea & Shibari - A Journey Through Polarity - Amsterdam

Co-creating embodied spaces to support you to drop in, grow, and REMEMBER who you already are. Amsterdam and Europe based. Inspired by the ancient wisdom of  the Tao, The Way in harmony with (our own) Nature.Those full-hearted spaces and events are invitations, each one created by myself and often with other gifted facilitators/artists —  into the body, into deeper truth, into presence. Deeply inspired by the ancient wisdom and eastern lineages of Taoism, Plant Medicines, and Shamanic Temple Arts, I weave spaces that are ceremonial, alive, and deeply human. What I offer is born from lived and remembered experiences and held with humility, honesty, and care."I am not here to fix you or stand above you. I am simply here to walk beside you as you begin to remember who you already are." These are not just events, but a humble Way of Remembering what truly matters. It's an on-going pathway to come back to the essence and simplicity of being.To learn more about Leila's offerings at https://leilali.comHear more about Leila's story and path: https://leilali.com/about-meI am also a professional event organiser for teachers and facilitators that I trust and can learn from myself, to bring their beautiful work to more people in this part of the world.

Leila Li - Way of Remembering

You are invited to experience the art and performance of two beautiful healing practices: Ancient Tea Ceremony and Shibari.

Condensatorweg 36

You are invited to experience the art and performance of two beautiful healing practices: Ancient Tea Ceremony and Shibari, on Friday night, February 27th, with Kozy and Leila at LIMINAL in Amsterdam. The evening will start with some grounding time, where we begin with reflection and meditation within ourselves while sipping tea mindfully in the present moment. (This ceremony will take about 45/60 minutes and is a special experience in itself.) From this inward presence, the space slowly opens into deeper connection, within ourselves and with others, that unfolds into 2 live Shibari performances (4 Artists). The theme of this edition is “A Journey Through Polarity.” Held in the colder, darker season, while the days are quietly growing longer again, we explore the living tension between opposites: the ancient and the present, stillness and intensity, structure and surrender, holding and letting go. Through this dance, we are invited to return home to the body and to the deeper intelligence that lives beneath all doing. Through the grounding ritual of TEA, we arrive in presence. Through the art of SHIBARI, we meet tension, trust, and release. Together, we journey through polarity, and back into ourselves, into each other, into quietness within. — What to expect We begin with the ancient Tea Ceremony (Cha Tao, “The Way of Nature through Tea”), a devotional art practiced for thousands of years and rooted in Chinese tradition. Leila and the tea serving team will serve each of you many rounds of seasonal premium teas, and guide you through a meditation that cultivates presence, fluidity, and balance. Each sip becomes a prayer, awakening the senses, opening the heart, and softening the space between inner stillness and shared presence. The evening then flows into the Art of Shibari, a rope practice originally rooted from Japan, that explores both physical form and emotional depth. Shibari invites us into the embodied experience of Polarity: tension and release, control and surrender, intensity and softness. It is a living art form, sensual, creative, and profoundly connective, mirroring the dynamic forces that move through life and relationships. To honour the theme “A Journey Through Polarity,” we will share 2 Shibari performances with 4 live Artists in total, each telling its own story through relational tension, trust, and the moment of release. Both performances will be paired with a specially chosen seasonal tea, deepening the resonance of the moment and weaving the evening into a complete and embodied experience. — PERFORMERS: @Miss_Noa_Shibari &amp; model (TBA) @Victional &amp; @Kozy_Libertine — Tickets You can find your tickets at: <a href="https://hipsy.nl/shop/183020-liminal-tea-shibari-a-journey-to-through-polarity" title="https://hipsy.nl/shop/183020-liminal-tea-shibari-a-journey-to-through-polarity" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://hipsy.nl/shop/183020-liminal-tea-shibari-a-journey-to-through-polarity</a> — PRACTICALS: ☼ Ticket: regular €35 (It includes Tea and Ceremony, and 2 Shibari performances with 4 live Artists, accompanied by multiple rounds of delicious high-quality tea) ☼ Free parking ☼ Entrance time: 19:30 ☼ Starting time: 19:45 (please arrive earlier because from this moment the doors are closed) — Schedule: 19:30 - 19:45 Entry 19:45 - 20:45 Opening and Tea Ceremony 20:45 - 22:30 Performances 22:30 - 23:00 Closing and soft ending — OUR FACILITATORS: Kozy is the owner and host of LIMINAL, he is an organizer/manager of events, playful experiences at parties, and is a (erotic) rope bondage performer.
