The Way of Tea | Cha Dao with Colin Hudon

Welcome to Life on Earth Podcast

 

Our guest today is Colin Hudon, the founder of Living Tea.

 

Here is an excerpt from livingtea.net 

 

"Guided by Chinese Medicine and the traditions of the Way of Tea, we source fine teas that are grown with reverence for the plant and for the planet."

 

In this episode we talk about ...

• The Art of Stillness
• Meditation
• Cha Dao | The Way of Tea
• The Five Elements 
• Connection with Nature
• Connecting with our Spiritual Practice 
• Connection with Community 
• Cultivating a Practice 
• The Changes of Seasons
• Everything About Tea and Camellia Sinensis
• Tea as Medicine
• Health Benefits of Tea
• The Ability to Slow Down
• Mindful Living 

It was a pleasure seating with Colin for this episode. The Way of Tea

(Cha Dao) is a big part of my life and Colin has been a great conduit for my learning experience and sourcing the best possible teas.

 

My hope is that you too cultivate mindful living in your life and find your way to inner peace.

A gift from Colin ~

Here are some journaling prompts for you to spark new personal insights:

• Think of a time when you experienced a “beginner’s mind.” What did you find in that state of being?
• What fears and/or joys arise when you let go of the need to know?
• Make a list of ways you can become more still. What gets in the way?
