Cooling Down: An Evening of Tea and Meditation

Thursday, Jun. 23, 2016

06:00 PM – 08:00 PM
US/Central

BODY-MIND-AND-SPIRIT-240X240

Join Alejandro Chaoul and Chris McKann in an engaging lecture, meditation, and tea tasting. The practice of drinking tea can be deeply contemplative and a complement to a meditative practice. Along with learning and experiencing the different varieties and benefits of tea, participants will learn a simple, take-home technique for a meditation that can become an everyday practice, especially to cool down mentally and emotionally. Meditative tea drinking offers an easy opportunity to integrate a calm and aware state of mind into your daily activities.

Note to students who attended previous “Evenings of Tea and Meditation”: This evening will be similar but not a repetition. Different teas and different aspects of meditation teachings will be presented.
