In this episode Harriet is joined by Suzette "Sooz" Hammond, an award-winning tea educator, professional tea skills trainer, and tea contemplative and spiritual practitioner. Sooz uses they and she pronouns, and is based in Chicago, USA.

She is the founder of Being Tea - an education-focused business offering interactive online learning and a first of its kind professional teacher training program. Their teaching style centers on sensory-supportive pedagogy, addressing financial and knowledge accessibility issues, and promoting tea as a practice for spiritual connection. Sooz has nearly two decades of teaching experience, across the US and internationally.

Sooz is also a certified trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher, and has been teaching tea meditation since 2010, bringing together two deeply therapeutic physical studies and philosophical traditions. Suzette was honored for their dedication to tea education with a World Tea Award for Best Educator.

Harriet and Sooz talked about the process of non-linear learning, how we bring together our transferable skills, and the power of practice.
