Let's bundle up and gather for Winter Tea in Prospect Park! We will start with a short nature walk through the park trails, meet at the boathouse, have some tea, and enjoy the music and multilingual poetry performance we prepare for you.
Embark on a musical journey with Gamin and Galen Passen as they lead us to explore the world through their unique musical lens. Discover the beauty of nature in every season and the profound meanings that culture holds for those born into it and living with it. Our world is intricately woven together by the threads of arts and cultures, deeply ingrained in the fabric of people's daily lives, much like the ritual of tea.
Limited space. RSVP is required.
Bring your own tea bowls and cups if you have one. Note that part of the program will be indoor.
