This new electro-acoustic project from Thor Harris (Swans, Thor & Friends) and Nicole Hale is a minimalist soundtrack for the future. West China Tea started in 2012 as a specialty importer of farm-direct Chinese tea in Austin. Having built tea culture in Texas for the past decade, WCT now operates a large tea house and offers events, classes, and training, as well as more than 200 different teas from more than 40 different suppliers from all over China. Our goal is to spread tea culture and grow community one cup at a time. They are providing a more casual, come-and-go tea service on the rooftop, as well as a dedicated ceremonial tea service in the Community Room. SlowGlow captures aura portraits using a rare analog camera system designed in the 1970s. Each image is a true double exposure, created in-camera with no filters or digital manipulation. The result is a one of a kind portrait that feels timeless, with a distinctive vintage quality that you can hold onto. The aura photo allows you to view a tangible reflection of the current energy in your field. SoulGlow then uses this information as a guide to create a custom healing session tailored to you.
