Synopsis

Tea and Zen share a deep connection in East Asia, where some believe that the practice of tea tasting serves as a prelude to Zen meditation, and that Zen meditation is the purpose of tea tasting. This relationship is often referred to as the “oneness of tea and Zen”.

In tea culture, the act of drinking tea is best approached with a calm mind, encouraging mindfulness and a deliberate savouring of each sip. This intentionality fosters tranquility, purity, and comfort, both in the environment and within one’s state of mind. Through this harmonious practice, individuals can cultivate a deeper sense of presence and appreciation for the moment.

In this self-guided workshop, disconnect from the noise and embark on a meditative journey as you engage in the sensory world of tea. Additionally, ease into a state of calm and relaxation with an audio meditation guide crafted by Joyful Garden Community of Mindful Living, accessible via a link on your smartphone. Participants are required to bring their own smartphone and earphones.

For free programmes, any cancellations or postponements will be updated on the event website and/or relevant official communication channels. As no tickets are issued, refunds do not apply.
