The way of Tea: Quieting the mind through tea
A short history of contemplative tea, a somatic body relaxation and mindfulness inquiry, tea appreciation, and a quiet sitting practice.
A fundraiser for InStill Mindfulness
Come join us in the practice of drinking tea and quieting the mind. Hosts Jagadisha Rotella and Sarah McCarthy will share a short history of contemplative tea, lead a somatic body relaxation and mindfulness inquiry, share Camellia Sinensis (tea), and practice quiet sitting together.
When we are able to truly meet the tea, at that very moment we are truly alive. Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.
