Hostessing a Tea is a fun, creative way to share Tapestry of Grace with your friends in the comfort of your home.
Invite a few of your friends over for tea (or coffee), and use your choice of our promotional flyers, videos, sample week-plans, or other online aids to help you explain what Tapestry is and how it works.
When you share with friends in this way, it's win-win for both you and your friends.
