Workshop 11: Tea Ceremony and Wellbeing

📅 Workshop 11: Tea Ceremony & Wellbeing | 🕚 Friday 24 October 2025, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm |📍 St Michael's Church Hall, Aughton

On 24 October 2025, we held our 11th Ageing Better with an Active Mind workshop. This time we explored the health and wellbeing benefits of the tea ceremony.

The Edge Hill University Confucius Institute introduced us to the history and philosophy behind this ancient practice, as well as the properties of different teas. From green to black tea, we discovered how these varieties, rich in antioxidants, can help support immunity. Beyond its physical benefits, the tea ceremony reminded us that making tea is also an act of mindfulness, calmness, and connection.

These workshops are co-created with u3a UK (The Third Age Trust) Aughton and Ormskirk to reflect the interests and curiosity of our participants.
