A meditation workshop with tea educator Suzette Hammond.

“Therefore, in order to take care of you, I have to take care of myself.“ – Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Zen MasterThe practice of tea gives us the ability to dwell in “calm alertness,” a state of being where we are poised yet very calm. It does this in a physically felt, biological level – that which we can understand through science – as well as through a philosophical, spiritual and emotional level. This workshop is about understanding the value of stillness offered by a tea meditation practice. Includes lecture about the form and function of meditation, plus guided exercises with tea drinking, with the goal of creating a very adaptable, easy to follow daily mindfulness practice. ---Hosted by Suzette Hammond, an award-winning educator, professional trainer, and tea spiritual practitioner. Suzette has been deeply involved in the US tea industry since 2003, working with leading tea companies, trade organizations and non-profits. She is the founder of <a href="https://beingtea.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Being Tea</a> - an education-focused small business offering tea skills training, sensory rich workshops, online teaching, and project support. Suzette is also a certified psychologically-sensitive and trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher through Room to Breathe, and has been teaching tea meditation since 2010, bringing together two deeply therapeutic physical studies and philosophical traditions. She is a regular teacher on the US tea festival circuit, including here in New York at the New York Coffee &amp; Tea Festival. Suzette was honored for her dedication to accessible tea education through Being Tea with a World Tea Award for Best Educator. Suzette is based in Chicago.
