Sri Balaras is the founder of Smitea and creator of the 10 Sip Manifestation ritual — a mindful tea meditation experience designed to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and create intentional daily rituals. Drawing inspiration from mindfulness, chakra energy, breath, gratitude, and tea ceremony practices, Sri creates experiences that feel grounding, accessible, and deeply calming for modern life.
His workshops combine guided meditation, intentional tea rituals, visualization, and heart-centred reflection to help participants cultivate presence, emotional clarity, and inner connection. Sri has shared the 10 Sip Manifestation experience at wellness events, festivals, and community workshops across New Zealand.
