    “Beginning From A Simple Bowl Of Tea” Experience Workshop

    Through the “Beginning From A Simple Bowl Of Tea” Experience Workshop, participants intend to unload the stress from daily routine, and focus wholly on “a bowl of tea” in front of you. Being aware only to the water and the tea leaves, watching the leaves unfold like a blossom, feeling the aroma and taste changing in your nose and mouth, and experience the fluidity of life in nature.

    Co-curator Lee Chi Wing and his Milk Design team, have particularly created a tea space for the workshop to lead people to experience the tea ceremony from a different angle with a new and fresh sensation.

    Remarks:

    • As participants need to sit with legs crossed, please wear appropriate clothing
    • Participants please come 5 minutes in advance for registration. For those who are late for
      more than 15 minutes cannot join the experience workshop
