Introducing Taste Before You Waste - 'Conscious Sundays' in Amsterdam, in collaboration with LeilArts.
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, often neglecting our well-being and connection to the present moment. In an effort to address this imbalance, we're thrilled to introduce a new program - Conscious Sunday by Taste Before You Waste in collaboration with LeilArts, an immersive experience designed to foster mindfulness, sustainability, and community with a zero waste focus.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
On this Conscious Sunday evening, we invite you to join us for a 3-hour journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation. Set amidst a tranquil ambiance set in plantage doklaan, our Conscious Sunday session will blend guided mindfulness rituals, a mindful tea ceremony, and zen meditation, all while incorporating sustainable practices for reducing food waste.
MINDFUL EXERCISES
Our mindful exercises and rituals will guide you into a state of deep relaxation and awareness, allowing you to connect with your inner self, your full-body senses and appreciate the beauty of the present moment. We'll explore breathing techniques, guided meditations, and gentle stretching to promote physical and mental well-being.
ANCIENT TEA CEREMONY
Following the mindful exercises, we'll embark on a mindful Tea Ceremony (Cha Tao, the way of nature through tea), an ancient ritual that celebrates the simplicity and elegance of tea. Our experienced tea master Leila from LeilArts will guide you through the intricacies of preparing and savoring a variety of teas, teaching you to appreciate the subtle flavors and aromas, to help you connect deeper within your senses, feelings and inner wisdoms as well as sending out a collective prayer for the love and peace to this world.
MINDFUL & SENSUAL EATING
To complement our mindful tea ceremony, we'll incorporate donated food into our event, prepared with heart by our wonderful team of volunteers. In order to minimize our environmental impact and reducing food waste. Our menu will feature a variety of healthy and delicious dishes, all prepared with care and consideration for sustainability. The mindful eating process will be particularly guided to help deepen your senses and presence.
OUR VISION
