Prosperi-Tea

A queer tea gathering

Prosperi-Tea is a queer-led tea gathering designed to offer our LGBTQIA2S+ community, intentional space to gather, slow down, and connect. Hosted at the Q Center, this event invites participants into stillness, wisdom, and the experience of tea as a grounding ritual. Together, we’ll explore how tea becomes more than a drink, it transforms into a practice of resilience, reflection, and belonging.

This gathering celebrates the beauty of queer community, honoring each person’s unique journey while nurturing bonds of support and care. Camellia sinensis will be brewed in the gongfu style, allowing for an intentional and profound encounter with tea. Participants will be invited into curiosity, reflection, and the shared mindfulness of the moment. Alongside tasting, we’ll share about the history and personal significance of tea, weaving these teachings into community conversation and meaningful connection.

This offering is shared by D’Guar (they/them), a devoted student of the leaf. Their work centers on deepening awareness of tea, mindfulness of nature and the self, and building community through shared ritual.

This event is pay-by-donation, with a suggested donation of $15–25. Ensuring accessibility while welcoming generosity to sustain resources and future gatherings. Above all, your presence is the most valuable contribution, as Prosperi-Tea exists for and within our community.

Please note: this event is sensory-centered. We kindly ask participants to avoid wearing strong fragrances, so that all may fully experience the aromas and subtleties of the tea. As a mindful gathering, we invite each person to honor their own presence while respecting the stillness, needs, and boundaries of others. By arriving in this spirit of care, we create a space where vulnerability, connection, and belonging may flourish in mindfulness.
