Small in scale and tactile in hand, the Nama-Stay Travel Tea Ritual Bag was created to keep the essentials of a compact tea practice gathered wherever the day leads.
Its soft velvet body is paired with a contrasting satin interior, while two asymmetrical handles pass through one another to form a simple knot-style closure. Each color pairing brings its own quiet character, from earth and open sky to morning mist, warm sand, and desert rose.
Choose the pairing that speaks to your practice, then carry a familiar moment of pause with you—at home, on the road, or somewhere between.

Because velvet reflects light differently as the pile shifts, color and shading may vary slightly between photographs and in person.
Weaving poetic and meditative writing with immersive photography, calligraphy, and artistic imagery, Tea: Remembering the Essence of Life offers an experiential exploration of Cha Dao 茶道—the Way of Tea.
The book begins with the story, essence, and practice of tea, introducing traditions that include gongfu cha, senchado, and bowl brewing. It then moves through the five elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal, bringing together elemental reflection, tea ritual, guided meditation, and suggestions for teas to explore.
Created by Christina-Jade Brunel in collaboration with photographer and creative director Laura Wencker, this substantial clothbound volume is intended to be returned to slowly—during tea, meditation, self-reflection, or a quiet moment at home.
Both visually striking and deeply contemplative, it offers a meaningful companion for an established tea practice and an inviting beginning for those newly drawn to the ritual of tea.

ALL ARE WELCOMEAn intimate candlelit evening of mantra, music, and devotion at Nama-Stay.
You’re invited to gather in the quiet presence of Zion for an evening of kirtan, a devotional practice rooted in the tradition of Bhakti Yoga.
Guided by classically trained Indian vocalist Leo Dey, we will enter the living rhythm of Bhakti through mantra, melody, prayer, and shared voice. Through call-and-response chanting, the room becomes part of the music as individual voices gather into something larger.
The evening may begin in stillness and gradually unfold into rhythm, movement, and dance, allowing devotion to become something we not only sing, but feel and embody.
Kirtan offers a space to soften the thinking mind, open the heart, and experience the simple joy of singing together. Whether this is your first experience with kirtan or a practice you return to often, all are welcome.
Come listen.
Come sing.
Come gather in devotion and community.
PREPARE FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE

ALL ARE WELCOMEAn evening of mantra, meditation, breath, and authentic expression at Nama-Stay.
The voice carries more than sound. It holds our confidence, truth, creativity, and willingness to be heard.
In this experiential workshop, Jennifer will guide you through mantra, japa meditation, breathwork, kriya, and chanting. Together, you will learn a mantra and explore its meaning before entering a meditative practice of repetition, rhythm, and sound.
Breath and kriya practices will invite greater openness through the throat, expand your capacity for breath, and help strengthen the connection between your inner presence and outward expression. Through chanting, you will have space to explore vocal projection and experience your voice with greater clarity, confidence, and ease.
This gathering is for anyone who would like to feel more comfortable speaking, teaching, singing, communicating, or expressing themselves. It is an invitation to quiet the thinking mind, listen more deeply, and reconnect with the power already carried within your own voice.
No previous experience is needed. Simply come as you are and bring a willingness to breathe, listen, and be heard.

with Vaughn Cruz
October 17, 2026
6 PM - 7:30 PM
ALL ARE WELCOMEKriya means action. Not effort or intention, but the movement that carries us from thought into lived experience.
We can spend an entire life imagining how things may unfold or replaying what has already passed without ever truly moving. Over time, purpose can become buried beneath hesitation, distraction, and the mind's constant activity.
This practice offers another way.
Vaughn Cruz will guide you through a grounded sequence drawn from the classical kriya tradition. The hour unfolds in three parts: movement to open the body, breath to steady the mind, and stillness to allow the practice to settle.
Together, these practices create space to step away from overthinking, return to the present moment, and reconnect with the clarity that comes through embodied action.
No prior experience is needed. Simply bring yourself, your breath, and a willingness to be present.
