Hands-on tea blending with kitchen herbs, everyday magic, and custom blends you craft and take home.
This month’s theme: Foundations – Everyday Kitchen Herbs & Home Tea Blending.
We’ll work with familiar plants that you can easily source from your pantry, garden, or local market – learning how simple ingredients become flavorful, supportive, and intentionally crafted blends for adding magic to your daily life.
Teacrafters’ Coven is a hands-on tea gathering rooted in deepening our connections to herbs and teas through crafting, intuition, magic, and a spirit of play.
Guided by Teishu Mike, a certified tea sommelier and Taoist Tea Witch, we learn about the rich histories and metaphysical correspondences of the tea leaves and herbs, and how these plants support the body and spirit. We interact with them directly – smelling, tasting, and learning the plants by touch and through their subtle whispers.
Each person creates their own custom tea to take home, along with practical knowledge you can use again and again.
The atmosphere is calm, creative, and collaborative. Part apothecary, part craft table, part evening with good company and warm cups.
Each month explores a seasonal or thematic focus, offering approachable ways to build your own tea practice at home.
Curiosity is enough. No experience or specific spiritual practice is required. All are welcome.

The Keep Sykesville Beautiful (KSB) group is a partnership between the Clean, Green, and Safe Committee of the Downtown Sykesville Connection (a nonprofit organization administering the Main Street program in Sykesville), the Town of Sykesville Staff/Public Works Department, and Sykesville Parks & Recreation.
Together, the three partners will use Keep America Beautiful’s framework for community education and hands-on stewardship that reduces litter, encourages recycling, promotes grassroots volunteerism, and makes sustainable improvement possible for communities of all sizes. KSB aims to improve behavior and create innovative, locally-focused programs that address the specific needs of this area and its population with the goal to reach deep into tour communities to effect meaningful, positive changes.
