The Vessel
A Creative Container series with Orchard St.
Welcome to the Vessel
A metaphor for the human experience ~ The Vessel invites us to reflect on our ecological nature and the interdependence of all living beings.
It is a creative container, where Tea serves as our ceremonial conduit for connection, to self, spirit, community, and nature.
We will join together in seasonal gatherings to honour this interconnectedness through ceremony, creativity, and shared presence.
An ongoing collaborative series with Orchard St hosted at Art Department Studio, Woolloomooloo.
Tending to our vessel is essential for nurturing creativity and cultivating a deeper connection to ourselves and the world around us - contributing to a richer tapestry of ideas, expressions, and connections.
PART 1: So Below
A Winter Solstice Gathering
As the Earth tilts once more toward light, we gather in stillness and soil.
An immersion into the Earth element — rooted in the belief that we are not separate from nature, but of it.
Together, we mark the turning of the season with a day of shared ritual, creative expression, and inner nourishment.
This event also celebrates the launch of As Above — Orchard St. x Cloud Hidden Liu Bao x Reishi tea blend; a bridge between worlds.
Offerings include:
Tea Ceremony
A quiet honouring of stillness and presence, as we cleanse our vessel and make room for potential and possibility.
Clay Workshop with Love Ryan Ceramics
Our hands in the earth, forming vessels from the ground below.
Elemental Insights with Orchard St
Exploring Reishi, Shen tonics, and naturopathic perspectives for seasonal support.
Grounding Nourishment by Orchard St
A warming Ayurvedic-inspired lunch to ground body and nurture spirit.
