Imagine Music Festival 2017

The Way of Tea, we will explore tea culture and its strong tie to meditation as it spans across 5,000 years from East to West. The simple Camellia Sinensis leaf has a rich, deep history influencing trade routes, contributing to several wars and has inspired a complete way of life. We will discuss Modern Teaism as we know it in America and how it came to be as well as how we can help to continue to spread the Way of Tea. Workshop space permitting, Adrienne Etkin Nascimento will perform Gung Fu Cha (Chinese Tea Ceremony) to taste teas from the assorted cultures and countries as we visit them in our discussion.
