Virtual Healing Tea Circle Series

May 24, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - June 29, 2022 @ 8:00 pm

Sweet Potato Comfort Pie (SPCP) of Golden Valley invites people to gather virtually for three “tea circles” focused on healing. The tea circles will be held via Zoom on May 24, 6:30—8 p.m., on June 22, 6:30—8 p.m. and on June 24, 6:30—8 p.m. “This is the second anniversary of the murder of Mr. George Floyd, and now the horrific massacre in Buffalo, New York,” said founder Rose McGee. “We all need healing. These tea circles allow people to engage in sharing, listen, have a bit of fun, and just be together in community.” Each session features meditation guru Subba Vaidyanathan, who resides in Singapore. The healing tea circles series is made possible by a grant from the Minneapolis Foundation.
