An Evening of Tea and Meditation: Sipping Into Silence

Jung Center of Houston offers An Evening of Tea and Meditation: Sipping Into Silence.

Join Alejandro Chaoul and Chris McKann in an engaging lecture, meditation, and tea tasting.

The practice of drinking tea can be deeply contemplative and a complement to a meditative practice. Along with learning and experiencing the different varieties and benefits of tea, participants will learn a simple, take-home technique for a meditation that can become an everyday practice.

Meditative tea drinking offers an easy opportunity to integrate a calm and aware state of mind into your daily activities.

Note to students who attended previous “Evenings of Tea and Meditation”: This evening will be similar but not a repetition. Different teas and different aspects of meditation teachings will be presented.

Tastings are taught by Chris McKann, owner of The Path of Tea, who has participated in more than 1,000 tea tastings in the past five years.

Alejandro Chaoul, PhD, has been a student of Tibetan Buddhism since 1989 and has studied with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche. He is an Assistant Professor at MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Integrative Medicine Program where he teaches Tibetan meditation to cancer patients, their families and caregivers, and researches the effects of Tibetan mind-body practices with cancer patients.
