Grounding With Tea: A ttrpg Grounding Experience

“A grounding self care experience turned into a game.”

Who said self care had to be complicated and expensive? Sometimes it really is the little things that can make such a huge difference.

----------------------------------

There are times when we just need a cup of tea (or hot chocolate) to soothe our worries. This ttrpg is about just that: experiencing making tea while grounding ourselves. By engaging our senses and adding rpg elements such as rolls and journaling, this is meant to be a full experience to ground you.

This is a game about going through the process of making tea, experiencing each step through the senses as a way of grounding oneself. There is a game component as you sip your tea, or hot chocolate if you prefer that. 

All you need are:

• A kettle or something to boil some water
• Tea (packet or loose leaf) 
• A mug or tea cup
• This sheet
• 1d6 (optional)
• A place to write and a writing utensil (optional)

The whole experience takes the amount of time it will take you to brew your tea and drink it.

The game is free, but feel free to leave a tip or to donate to a local community organization. 

An accessible version with titles, headings, a more readable font, and increased spacing between lines and sections is now available.

This game is under the Olivia Hill Rule: No fascists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, or other forms of bigot are allowed to play or use this game.
