This session will be oriented around readings from the Book of Tea. The book is a lovely immersion in Japanese Zen culture and the important role tea has played in that culture. We encourage you to make yourself a cup, or a pot, of tea for the occasion. (Not compulsory). We hope it will be a quiet hour of being read to, of silent periods, of reflection, and of conversation. We will leave the tea-making entirely up to you, either before or after the event.
