Lotus Bloom Circle – The Seed

Event Information

The Blooming Philosophy

Each Session of the Lotus Bloom Circle Series is guided by one of the Four Cycles of the Blooming Philosophy.

This Framework Reflects a cycle of grounding, creative expansion and communal reflection.

Session 1: The Seed - Clarity

Clarity supports participants in arriving fully and softening the noise of the day. Through grounding and simple awareness-based practices, participants cultivate ease, focus and emotional openness.

Activity: light breathing awareness + short reflective writing.

Closing Tea Moment

Each session ends with a warming tea moment to help the nervous system settle after movement, breath work and art-making.

  • Teas will be brewed to keep things simple and museum-friendly.
  • Participants will choose between one or two blends aligned with the evening's cycle.
  • Sweeteners: honey, agave, or maple.
  • Participants are invited to bring their favorite mug, the museum will also be providing cups.

The purpose is grounding, warmth, and gentle regulation, a unified pause before leaving the museum.
