Astro, ‘of or relating to the stars’, Mojo, ‘a magic charm or spell’, Dojo, ‘a hall or place for immersive learning, experiential learning or meditation’. And so, the Astro Mojo Dojo Tea Lounge was born. The Astro Mojo Dojo is intended as a safe, sober-friendly space, a quiet and welcoming place for reflection, connection, and of course, tea! Stop in for galactic tea ceremonies with our incredible hosts.
JTMF's tea lounge. Immersive experiential learning, meditation, and of course, tea!
