To be elevated means that you’ve risen to a higher place – above the normal level.  Elevated Coffee is a place to come together. A place where ideas, talents and opportunities are discovered each day. A place in which all people, from diverse walks of life, are invited to gather, unite and find joy and peace.

​

​

​

​

For centuries, green tea has been treasured throughout Asia for its healthful, restorative qualities. In Japan, Zen priests drank green tea to keep themselves awake through long hours of meditation. 

​

In the 16th century a man named Sen no Rikyu, influenced by the study of Zen, envisioned a path to enlightenment through the simple act of sharing a bowl of tea among friends in the pursuit of peace and harmony—a practice he called wabi-cha. For Rikyu, making tea while mindfully engaging all the senses was to have a complete Zen experience. We will share a moment of quiet joy and experience the spirit of Japanese culture through a bowl of tea.

3:30 pm Explore the Lan Su Chinese Garden & WonderlanD

Lan Su Chinese Garden is one of Portland's greatest treasures. Built by Chinese artisans from their sister city Suzhou, it's the most authentic Chinese garden outside of China. Lan Su is a creative wonder, a powerfully inspiring experience based on a 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition that melds art, architecture, design, and nature in perfect harmony. 

6:00 pm Dinner

​

The House of Ramen
Ramen is my newest favorite thing. At the House of Ramen, you can customize your bowl of deliciousness from the broth up by choosing a spice level from 0-5, the style of broth, picking one of three noodles, and two vegetables. It’s so good.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

You may cancel your participation at any time, but please be aware of the following cancellation policy:

It is an extraordinary commitment to bringing this one of a kind immersive experience to our guests and, therefore ALL payments are non-refundable, including registration fees, late fees, full payments, and installment payments. The ONLY exception to this policy is if the retreat must be canceled in its entirety for any reason in which case I will notify all parties via email and provide refund instructions.

WHY IS MY PAYMENT NONREFUNDABLE?

Our vendor(s) -- Home Rental, excursion companies, etc. -- require upfront commitments that we must adhere to. When we offer a package to you we have to ensure, through good-faith payments, that you will attend the events. This is the only way our vendors will take us seriously, and will want to help us provide the best experiences possible to our retreat guests.
