Winter Wellness Day

Herbal Tea Workshop, Shakyo Meditation, Gong Bath.

Spend a morning learning about the properties of herbal teas, how to mix them, and mindfully make them. The teas you will learn have medicinal benefits, such as those that are calming or immunity boosting, as well as those that are simply delicious! You will go home with 2 sets of teas, each set with beautiful, individually made sachets created by you, along with calm and tranquillity from mindful time spent with plants of nature.

Shakyo is the practice of tracing the Buddhist sutra written in Japanese calligraphy with a brush or brush pen. It is a form of meditation, as well as a way to be in tune with Buddha’s teachings. By tracing each Japanese character in the Buddhist sutra and focusing on the ink on paper, shakyo is said to be effective in stabilising the mind as the mind goes into a concentration mode while tracing. This form of meditation can help one become more present and calm, reaching a state of mindfulness and peaceful zen. The session starts with Lisa of Hinoki leading a guided breath meditation, then using a Japanese brush style pen you will calmly trace the Japanese characters on washi paper from Japan. No experience is required.
