Tea Above The Clouds
"...I’ll sit with that bowl of tea and look at those leaves and it will remind me of how life can be lived.” -Katrine Friis Olsen

Zen And Science Part 2
"Every day before I go to work I have a silent tea session. The idea behind this ritual is that it’s meant to remind me to be always making tea, to be focused, to be in that state of mind. And in that sense Zen and the practice of it is conducive to good science work" - Neil Barrie
Join us for the second part of the discussion between Wu De and particle physicist Neil Barrie on Zen and science.
Zen And Science part 1
"When you are in harmony with Nature, when you are in harmony with what is happening, you cease to suffer" - Wu De

Giving Back
"You come to realise that it is not the thing that you do that is important but rather the energy you put into it.”
- Frederik Wallin
Join us this time for a discussion on the life lessons that are found in service and in giving back to the community.
Manifesting Simplicity: Zen And Tea Part 2
"The simplicity, in practice, in Zen is about living wholly and without reminder. It’s not an adding something onto it. It’s not doing one’s activities while in some superstate. It’s doing the activities wholly and completely with the whole of yourself unified, so you’re not thinking about your facebooks while chopping spring onions."
- Wu De
In this episode we explore the relationship between Zen, Tea and simplicity.
How To Improve Your Tea
A life of tea is a life of self cultivation. And what every artist in any craft discovers eventually is that beyond the skills, beyond the techniques, beyond even talent, and then of course, beyond the instruments and tools and medium, is the artist herself.
- Wu De
In this episode we discuss the ways to improve our tea and our practice. Brew yourself a bowl of tea and join us!
