White Label Project: Tea Ceremony with Nanjing Deng
Winter 2025
In the winter of 2025, Soul Collective Berlin partnered with White Label Project, an inspiring women-led brand empowering women artists and artisans from around the world.
At their beautiful concept store in Mitte, we hosted an intimate gathering - a 12 person tea ceremony, facilitated by Nanjing Deng. A deep journey of tea and sound, with a guided meditation and a moment to observe our bodies, minds, and spirits. This peaceful setting allowed us to pause and reflect, and nourish ourselves with the healing medicine of Sheng Pu-erh Tea from the Lincang region of China.
Inspired by the Tang Dynasty poem 七碗茶歌 “Seven Cups of Tea,” we moved through 7 different layers of experience, first sensing the body, then lifting into realms beyond, as the tea guided us higher and higher.
