As plant medicine, Taoist herbalists hail Tea as a spirit or Shen tonic for its ability to clear the mind, open the heart, settle the soul, and illuminate one’s essence.

Join Living Tea founder Colin Hudon from the tranquil setting of Mountain Gate Teahouse and Art Gallery, and join in the traditional methods of brewing loose-leaf, old-growth teas that facilitate deep meditation. This practice introduces participants to the profound synergy between three mindful bowls of tea in silence and zazen (seated meditation).
