Food keeps us connected, and alive. It carries our cultures, holds our memories, and gives us a reason to gather together.

From 5–15 November, our Tai Hang storefront becomes FiZZ Hub: a living pop-up hub where we’ll ”ferment“ new connections through food. Together, we’ll explore fermentation, food preservation, and the cultures and communities they nourish.

Come get curious, get hands-on, and bring a little of yourself to the table. Brew kombucha, grow a ginger bug (a fizzy starter for homemade sodas), play with SCOBYs, make cyanotype sun prints, share food memories, swap recipes — and much more.

Whether you’re a seasoned fermenter or simply curious, there’s a place for you here. Bring a friend, a recipe, or a food story you’d love to share.

🗓️ Dates: 5–15 November 2026

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺? 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗲𝗮, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Join the Centre of Buddhist Studies at HKU for an open house where neuroscience meets Buddhist mindfulness. Step away from the noise of the city, let’s tune into your inner world, and discover ways to care for your mind, and the power of presence and inner peace.

What to expect in the 1-hour session?

❶ Explore a Contemplative Practice:
Each session begins with a guided practice led by an experienced practitioner. Choose the path that speaks to you:

🍵 Tea Meditation: Practice deep presence by engaging your senses with the heat, aroma, and taste of artisanal tea.
🎵 Somatic Grounding and Chanting: Use rhythmic chanting to relax through vocal vibrations, followed by body scanning to connect your mind and body.
💛 Compassion Meditation: Direct love, warmth, and understanding towards yourself, others, and the world.

❷ Neuroscience in Action:
Put on an EEG headband to track your brainwaves. As you settle into a state of calm, watch your inner peace translate into digital commands to pilot a drone in real-time. It‘s a playful, tangible way to see the potential of a focused mind.

In a time when stress is a daily reality, understanding how the mind works, and how spiritual practices and neuroscience can support our wellbeing has never felt more relevant.

📅 Dates: Nov 6–8 & Nov 13–15 (Public sessions)
| Nov 9–12 (By appointment only)

📍 Location: Tai Hang Store Front, G/F, 27 Shepherd Street, Tai Hang, Hong Kong
🎟️ Registration Required (Limited walk-in quotas available!)
