About this Event
In this unique cultural experience, you’ll start with a Chinese tea ceremony, enjoying a masterfully brewed tea, and then dive into the basics of Chinese calligraphy with fun, hands-on practice.
Chinese calligraphy is known as one of the highest forms of Chinese art, and tea has always been central to elegant gatherings. Together, these two beautiful traditions offer a pathway to inner peace and tranquility.
What You Will Experience
- Tranquility in a Cup: Immerse yourself in a peaceful Chinese tea ceremony and savor masterfully brewed tea.
- A Beautiful Culture: Discover the art of Chinese calligraphy with a brief lecture on its history and masterpieces.
- Hands-on Practice: With a soft brush, a drop of ink, and a piece of rice paper, begin the journey of self-refinement through Chinese calligraphy.
