Into the Stillness: Sunrise Meditation & Tea Ceremony
6 December 2026 @ 7:15 am – 8:15 am
Experience sunrise on Pitch Hill with guided meditation, quiet reflection and a seasonal herbal tea ceremony as the winter light slowly returns.
Begin your day in quiet awe with a guided sunrise meditation with Lisa atop Pitch Hill, where forest and sky meet in stillness. Just a short walk from the garden where George Harrison wrote “Here Comes the Sun,” Pitch Hill offers its own timeless sunrise — the same soft Surrey light that inspired one of music’s most beloved songs.
As the year draws toward its darkest days, this session offers a chance to step away from the mounting busyness of December and into the stillness — a quiet pause before the season’s rush, where the only task is to breathe, be present, and watch the light slowly return.
THE ASCENT
We’ll begin with a short but invigorating 10-minute walk, ascending a 100-metre incline — with one brief but steep stretch in the middle — through woodland paths as the sky begins to soften with the first, slow light of a winter morning.
GUIDED MEDITATION
At the summit, we’ll settle into a comfortable seated space and enter a guided meditation in darkness, gently awakening the senses as the world around us begins to stir. Just before sunrise, we’ll open our eyes together and witness the sun rise over the landscape — a moment of shared silence, light, and presence, held in the deep quiet of the season.
TEA CEREMONY
We’ll close our morning with a seasonal herbal tea ceremony, crafted to reflect the stillness and quiet of early winter. You’ll receive a packet of the same tea to take home, allowing the ritual to continue in your own space and time.
Come as you are — no experience with meditation necessary. Just bring warm layers, something to sit on, and a willingness to greet the day with intention and wonder.
IN CASE OF RAIN
If the forecast is rain, the event will be rescheduled. If the forecast is cloudy, you’ll have the option to attend a different date instead.
