“Chan, Tea, and
the Way of the Warrior” at Library
The Green ville Public Library welcomes back Jesse Berry for a special
event Thursday July 30th at 6:30. Everyone knows Jesse as the
owner and head Sifu, or instructor, of the Young Forest Martial Arts
studio and also the owner and operator of Blue Lantern Tea, an online
store specializing in rare artisan teas from around the world.
Many of us have enjoyed Jesse’s demonstrations of the traditional Gung
Fu Cha or tea ceremony.
Again Jesse will make and serve tea along with another very special
part of the program: a book speaking and signing of his debut novel
Chan, Tea, & the Way of the Warrior. The book will be
available for purchase. Jesse will describe how he was inspired
by Gung Fu (Kung Fu has the same characters as Gung Fu) in his writing.
He explains “It is a misconception that Gung Fu means only martial
art. Kung Fu translates as skill effort but is interpreted as
skill developed through hard work and effort over time. A person
can develop skill and effort through the art of tea as well.”
As editor and contributor to Tea Warrior, a martial arts blog and
forum, Berry shares his experiences from more than ten years of martial
arts, as well as his extensive knowledge of teas. This is a free
event with limited seating. Please call 548-3915 or join this event
page on Facebook to reserve your seat. Light refreshments will be
provided.
