Color of the day: White Incense of the day: Mint Clear a table and bless it as sacred space. Lay out your tea service and any food and hot water as if you were setting up an altar. Incorporate elements into your meal and table setting that symbolize friendship, such as pineapples, lemons, irises, yellow roses, and ivy. When everyone sits down, hold hands to form an unbroken circle and speak a spell of friendship together: "Tea and sympathy, Friendship and empathy, Teatime is our time to reconnect." Then ... enjoy. Savor every moment. |
