SUMMARY:Origami Intention Box & Tea at Ely Museum
DESCRIPTION:This gathering is for the women somewhere in the middle of something — and ready to find beauty there.\nYou do not need to know anything about tea or Chinese medicine or origami to be here. You do not need to have heard of Chinese seasonal calendar before today. You only need to be willing to arrive.\nThis gathering falls within a Chinese seasonal calendar that has mapped nature’s rhythms for two thousand years. Late May belongs to Grain Buds season – 小满. The grain has begun to fill. Not yet ripe. Not yet complete. And in that incompleteness, something quietly full of what it is growing toward.\nWe gather at Ely Museum on Saturday 30 May, 10:30–12:30. Ten women.\nWe fold Japanese washi paper into small origami intention boxes — patient, one deliberate crease at a time. Each fold practising what the Grain Buds season asks of us. Trust what is not yet finished. Stay with the becoming.\nInside your completed box — a hand-gathered bundle from the Fens. Six small things chosen for what late spring asks of the body. We’ll meet them one at a time.\nThe tea holds the morning from arrival to close.We begin with osmanthus flowers steeped alone — pale golden, honey-apricot scented. The traditional Chinese colour of this solar term. Abundance not yet full. A cup that says: you’ve arrived.\nWe close with Yunnan Pu’er Black tea — deep, earthy, grounding — with dried rose petals floating on the surface. Two flowers. One tea. The season held in a single sip.\nWe end in somatic noticing. Where is there more ease? Where has something softened? That difference — between arriving and departing — is the whole practice.\nYou leave with a hand-folded box, fragrant and tied with string. Yours to place somewhere visible at home.\n\n What’s includedJapanese washi paper · hand-gathered Fens botanical bundle · osmanthus arrival pour · Yunnan Pu’er with rose and elderflower · somatic noticing cards · all materials\n Ely Museum, CB7 4LS Saturday 30 May · 10:30–12:30 £35 returning EarthGlow guests · £40 standardMaximum 10 women Book here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/earthglow/2163585\nNo experience needed.
