A Traditional Chinese Tea Demonstration

part of the art for older adults workshop series (55&up)

Gain a brief background on the origin of tea and its role in East Asian social interactions along with its many benefits.

According to Confucianism, the art of tea is as much transformative on an introspective level as it is on a ceremonial level. Engage in the ritual of tea handling, tea ware function and identification, and proper tea steeping. Yvonne will offer two types of tea tasting, including one non-caffeinated option. 

Yvonne Wolf generously shares the knowledge and skills she has gained from her experiences living in four different countries where she became fluent in three languages (Chinese (Mandarin), English, and Danish). She worked as a bilingual analyst in a Japanese global corporation in Denmark and served as a global language trainer in Japan. She is also well traveled in the United States. She has ten years' experience working as an organizational consultant in Los Angeles mediating cross cultural misunderstandings. She continues her work in the Greater Chicago area.
