Hush TeaBar

Hush TeaBar Guided silent tea and mindfulness experiences, co-led by Deaf individuals and persons with lived experience in mental health. At your workplace. In your school.

For your community. The stillness just before dawn. The silence of the park at night. The quiet and calm before a storm. The tranquility when a butterfly rests on a flower. When was the last time you turn down the volume k**b on life to listen to its eloquence in hush? Welcome to Hush. HUSH is a social movement that champions self care, emotional literacy and empathy through the practice of silenc

e and signs in schools, workplaces and communities. Led by the Deaf/hard of hearing and supported by people-in-recovery from mental health issues, as a form of empowered employment, Hush strives to build a resilient, and inclusive society, one sign of emotion at a time. Hush aims to disrupt and bring about change to 2 social issues:

1. To challenge the notion of the daily rush through this silent revolution towards a resilient and inclusive society. Hush is journey of quiet reflection to connect with ourselves, others and the community - led by our Deaf facilitators.

2. To challenge the notion of 'disAbility' by inviting all to rethink the ability of the deaf through a reflective experience of inner awareness where no spoken words are needed. We swop the worlds around to encourage the hearing to step into the shoes of the Deaf. In silence, where is their disability? Who is the disabled one? The Hush Experience is a 4-zone experience - Intention, Reflection, Expression and Sharing. Our primary sustainability model is Hush@Workplace - organisations such as DBS, Google, Medtronic, NUH, Dow Chemical, MOT, Puig, MOE, many schools etc. have brought Hush to the workplace as a unique and integrated responsibility model of employee wellness and community empowerment. Over 38 Deaf persons have been trained as facilitators.

is daring the young to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, starting with signing and silence. They can sign their emotions even if they can't/don't know how to talk about them. We also empower the Deaf through this programme. Rush to Hush with us.

"A Pause of the Nation"

A nation is more than the land we call home. It is the people who grow, care, and journey together.

When uncertainty finds us, a pause reminds us that no one walks alone.

A stronger nation is built through kindness, empathy, and the courage to include every voice. Across races, abilities, and lived experiences, we move forward together.

When our nation pauses, we discover what truly connects us.

Leadership begins with the ability to pause, listen and reconnect.

We were honoured to bring the Hush❤Leaders Experience to senior Vice-Principals from the moesingapore Leadership and Executive Management Programme, co-facilitated by Anthea Ong together with our Deaf facilitator, Low Kok Wah.

Held at The Trampoline by access.sgp at SCAPE , the 90-minute experience brought together 22 senior school leaders from both primary and secondary schools - creating a meaningful pause away from the everyday demands of leadership.

Through Anthea’s facilitation and the Hush journey of Intention, Reflection, Expression and Connection, leaders were invited to slow down, reflect and reconnect with themselves and one another.

Beyond words and titles, the experience explored:🌿 How we communicate with greater awareness🌿 How we create space for reflection and empathy🌿 How we strengthen human connection within our communities

With our Deaf-led approach, participants experienced communication beyond spoken words - through simple signs, silence, tea ritual, TeaArt and shared reflections.

This session continues Hush’s partnership with the education community, following our earlier Hush❤Leaders experience with senior principals.

A heartfelt thank you to MOE for inviting Hush back to support this group of school leaders, and to Access Singapore / The Trampoline by Access at SCAPE for hosting us.

Thank you Hello Flowers SG for the beautiful pre-loved flowers and foliage that helped create a warm and reflective environment. 🌿

To every Vice-Principal who joined us - thank you for the leadership you carry, the people you support, and the difference you continue to make every day.

A meaningful leadership journey begins when we make space to pause.

"Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat." - Malcolm S. Forbes

Success is not the absence of failure. It grows each time we choose to believe in ourselves and rise again.

Just as a shadow cannot exist without light, victory cannot be celebrated without defeat.

Yin and Yang - each giving meaning to the other.

So when your spirit feels weary, take a pause.
Rest, reflect, and rise again with quiet courage.

This week's sign: VICTORY
The clasped hand holds your emotions close.
The V-shaped hand swirls upward, like a phoenix rising from its ashes—a reminder that every ending holds the beginning of a new strength.

Note: Kok Wah teaches Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) within Hush TeaBar’s programmes. Where clearly indicated, certain visual signs may be adapted for specific mental health conversations or accessibility needs and may not reflect standard SgSL usage.

Learners are encouraged to verify signs with native Deaf SgSL users or qualified SgSL trainers before using them outside the Hush context.

A monthly rhythm of appreciation.

On 24 July, we gathered for another HUSH AA - Anthea Appreciates session, an intimate space created for people who have journeyed alongside Anthea, Hush and the wider work of community, wellbeing and social impact.

Held at our partner venue MFC, this session was co-facilitated by Anthea Ong, Lewis Chen and Kok Wah Low, our Deaf Lead Facilitator.

Through silence, Singapore Sign Language, the Abundance tea ritual, reflection and connection, guests were invited to pause from the pace of everyday life and enter a space of gratitude, presence and human connection.

Around the table, guests received messages of encouragement from past Hushers, reflected quietly over tea, and created expressions of abundance through flowers, colour and stillness.

The flowers and foliage brought warmth to the room - a reminder that appreciation can be expressed not only through words, but also through presence, attention and care.

Thank you Michael Faith Consultants Group for continuing to hold this space with us.

Our heartfelt thanks also to Hello Flowers SG for donating the beautiful pre-loved flowers and foliage that brought new life and softness to the experience. 🌼

And to everyone who joined us: thank you for the ways you continue to show up, support and contribute to the communities around you.

May we keep making time to appreciate the good humans in our lives.

Who is someone you want to appreciate this week?
Take a moment to let them know.

"It's a beautiful thing for mind, body, and spirit to take some time daily for reflection."

Let's begin with a simple pause.

Find a quiet place to sit.

Reflect on a moment from your day.

Breathe in slowly. Breathe out gently.

Offer yourself a word of courage, kindness, or hope.

At HUSH TeaBar, every pause is an invitation to return to yourself. As July comes to a close, may reflection continue to bring clarity, calm, and quiet strength into each new day.

If you'd like to begin your own HUSH Experience, write to us at [email protected] to ignite your pause.

"Hold the vision, trust the process."

What vision are you holding for your life?

Over a cup of tea, a pause becomes your quiet guide. In stillness, the path ahead often becomes clearer than it first appeared.

Like a blade runner, we move with purpose. Not by rushing, but by trusting every step towards the vision we hold.

Let your pause sharpen your vision. Trust where it is leading you.

This week's sign: VISION
Two fingers arc outward from the temple.
From the line of our eyes, we see forward - towards hope, purpose, and possibility.

"Clarity begins in quiet."

The noise unsettles the rhythm of life.

A crystal becomes clear only when it is allowed to settle.

So do we.

In silence, our thoughts soften, our hearts steady, and clarity quietly finds us.

Give yourself the gift of a pause. Your tired heart and mind deserve it.

"A pause in harmony and togetherness."

This Racial Harmony Day, HUSH TeaBar celebrates the beauty of different races, cultures and stories, gently gathered in one shared space.

In silence, we discover that kindness needs no translation, and empathy has no colour. Around a cup of tea, strangers become listeners, differences become conversations, and every story finds a place to belong.

Harmony is not about becoming the same, it is about embracing one another with open hearts, mutual respect, and the willingness to listen.

May we continue to pause together, celebrate our diversity, and grow a community where everyone feels seen, heard and welcomed.

Happy Racial Harmony Day!

With warmth,
HUSH TeaBar

"See the beauty in everything. Begin with yourself." - Dulce Ruby

Do you see the noise?

How does quiet look to you?

Look deep within yourself. What do you see?

Your HUSH Experience invites you to notice what often goes unseen. In the embrace of silence, with a warm cup of tea in your hands and your eyes gently closed, distractions begin to soften. Beneath the noise, you meet the person who has always been there - yourself.

Sometimes, seeing is not with our eyes, but with our hearts.

This week's sign: SEE

By the temple of your head, move two fingers gently forward, like your eyes gazing ahead.

A simple sign that reminds us to see beyond appearances, to notice beauty in others, and to begin by seeing the beauty within ourselves.

Note: Kok Wah teaches Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) within Hush TeaBar’s programmes. Where clearly indicated, certain visual signs may be adapted for specific mental health conversations or accessibility needs and may not reflect standard SgSL usage.

When a leader experiences the value of pause, it can ripple into an entire school community.

We were grateful to bring the Hush❤Workplace Experience to Kranji Primary School, Ministry of Education, Singapore creating a calm and reflective space for educators to pause, listen deeply and reconnect.

This session was especially meaningful for us.

The principal of Kranji Primary School first experienced Hush during a leadership session in 2025. Led by Anthea Ong & Low Kok Wah, Since then, she has continued to bring the Hush Experience into different school communities, including zhenghua_ps and Zhenghua Kindergarten , before inviting us back this year to hold space for the team at Kranji Primary School.

They stepped into silence, learnt simple Singapore Sign Language, reflected through tea ritual, expressed emotions through tea ink, and wrote messages for future Hushers.

In a world that often asks educators to keep giving, Hush offered a rare reset: a moment of clarity, emotional grounding and human connection without needing to perform or explain.

Thank you Kranji Primary School for trusting Hush TeaBar to support the wellbeing of your educators, and for continuing to believe in the importance of creating reflective spaces within schools.

Our appreciation also goes to our Deaf facilitators and team members who held the experience with care and presence.

Thank you Hello Flowers SG for donating the beautiful pre-loved flowers and greenery that gave warmth and new life to the space. 🌿
