Wisdom begins in wonder, said Socrates, yet certified life coach and social entrepreneur Anthea Ong thinks it also begins in silence. As Founder and Chief Revolutionary of Hush Tea Bar, she’s been brewing a quiet revolution with Singapore's first silent popup TeaBar to bring the benefits of mindfulness to the workplace and community with a cup of tea led by a team of lovingly-trained deaf TeaRistas. In the last 20 months, 20 organisations have brought the Hush@Workplace experience to over 1,400 of their employees, customers and partners, providing more than 25 TeaRistas with dignified job opportunities. A carefully-crafted 4-zone journey, the Hush Experience presents participants with the opportunity to step into the shoes of the deaf, and in that process, connect with themselves. Sometimes called a silence evangelist, Anthea passionately believes that it is in silence, that we remember who we are, and who we are to each other. Come celebrate silence with Anthea as she takes you through her story of finding herself, and later Hush, in her meditations. She will lead you through a taster version of one of Hush TeaRituals (without the tea!) to still your mind and listen to your heart's whispers. And you will also learn 4 beautiful phrases that calls up the emotions of gratitude, humility, love and atonement, in sign language. This talk is suitable for youths and adults.
