The Five Elements:
A Framework for Tea & Practice
August 6–8 · Boulder, CO
How the Series Works
A series exploring Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — the five-part cycle that shapes the seasons, our emotions, and the stages of growth — as a lens for both the practice of tea and the practice of living. Each element gets its own weekend across the year, moving from concept into hands-on brewing, seasonal tasting, and reflection.
August's Focus: Metal
This weekend is devoted to Metal, autumn's element: harvest, clarity, and the quality of letting go of what's unneeded to reveal what matters. Three days trace Metal from concept to cup — a foundational class, a deep dive, hands-on brewing, an autumn tea tasting, and a closing session on refinement and worth.
Each session stands alone, or take the full arc across all three days. Saturday evening, drop by the Open Tea House to close out the weekend — no ticket required.
