Resonance & Ritual: Candle-Lit Sound Journey with Tea Ceremony
Resonance & Ritual: Candle-Lit Sound Journey with Tea Ceremony
*An intimate evening for deep rest, reflection, and renewal.* ​**Resonance and Ritual: Sound Journey & Tea Ceremony** ​Step out of the Hong Kong work rhythm and into an evening of nervous system restoration, deep presence, and gentle connection. **Resonance and Ritual** is a small-group sound journey and tea ceremony created especially for busy professionals who want to slow down without “checking out” of their lives. ​We’ll begin with a candle lighting intention ritual. Then we'll gently settle into a guided sound journey using sound bowls, chimes, and other soothing instruments to help your body release tension and your mind soften out of work mode. From there, we transition into a mindful tea ceremony, inviting you to experience tea as a grounding ritual — one sip, one breath, one shared moment at a time. ​This experience is ideal if you: * ​Feel mentally and emotionally drained from long workdays * ​Find it hard to switch off, even when you’re home * ​Miss feeling present, connected, and at ease in your own body ​**What’s included** * ​Guided sound journey (approx. 40 minutes) * ​Mindful tea ceremony with high-quality loose-leaf tea * ​Mats/props provided (you may bring your own if you prefer) * ​A calm, supportive space to integrate and reflect ​**Event details** * ​Date: Friday, 17 April * ​Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM * ​Venue: Sacred Space Therapy and Wellness Studio, Cheung Sha Wan * ​Capacity: Limited to 7 participants for depth and comfort * ​Exchange: * ​Early Bird - 375 HKD (First 3) * ​Standard - 420 HKD * ​Group (2+) - 390 HKD ​**What to bring** * ​Comfortable clothing suitable for lying down * ​A light sweater or shawl * ​Optional: journal and pen

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
