Herbal Tea With Each Class
We start each class connecting over a cup of Living Koko cacao husk tea. Depending on the season, there may be added accents of cinnamon, cloves, tumeric, or mint.
I acknowledge and thank the traditional custodians of the lands, oceans and water ways on which we practice on and near to at Maitri Studio Brighton, the Boon Warrung / Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation.
