Hosted by Nature Walk & Meditative Persian Tea Ceremony with House Leyli

Some rituals slow time down. This is one of them. On September 20, Outsiders partners with House of Leyli for a morning rooted in two of the oldest forms of restoration: moving through nature and sharing tea. Together, they make for something rare in a city that rarely pauses. We'll start on the trail, walking at a pace that invites presence over pace. Eyes up. Breath steady. The kind of movement that clears your head before you've even realized it needed clearing. Afterward, we'll settle in for a meditative tea ceremony led by House of Leyli, a lifestyle brand that cultivates modern mindfulness rituals rooted in Persian culture. Founded by Hediya, whose earliest memories are of three generations of women gathered at a kitchen table, sharing tea steeped with cardamom, rose, and saffron, House of Leyli carries that tradition forward with intention. Expect loose-leaf Persian tea, poetry, meditation prompts, and the kind of conversation that only comes when everyone finally slows down. This is for the seeker, the over-scheduled, and anyone who's been looking for a ritual worth keeping. **What to expect:** A guided nature walk followed by a meditative Persian tea ceremony with House of Leyli. **What to bring:** Comfortable layers, walking shoes, and an open mind. **Event Details:** 10:00 AM - Meet at The Standard Biergarten  10:30 AM - Depart NYC  12:00 PM - Arrive at the trail  12:15 PM - Begin guided nature walk  1:45 PM - Conclude walk + transition to tea ceremony  2:00 PM - Meditative Persian tea ceremony with House of Leyli  3:30 PM - Conclude ceremony + Depart  5:00 PM - Arrive back in NYC Times are approximate and subject to traffic and group pace. **What's Included in Your Ticket:** * Round-trip transportation * Guided nature walk * Meditative Persian tea ceremony with House of Leyli * Tea, Persian poetry, and meditation prompts * Beverages on the ride home * OUTSIDERS hosts on site **What to Bring:** * Comfortable walking shoes or trail sneakers * Bring your lunch * Weather-appropriate layers * Water bottle * Sunscreen + hat * Light backpack * Card/cash for any additional snacks or purchases **Important Notes:** * A signed waiver is required to join the trip. * This is a full-day experience.
