🍵Practicing Zen through Tea Ceremony 🍵
Attain peace of mind through the historical practices of Japanese tea ceremony, and discover Zen with a nationally qualified tea master.

The tea ceremony experience is more than just a ceremony.
Like many Japanese cultural aspects, it is connected to Zen Buddhism, and in Zen, as in tea ceremony, most concepts begin with the learning of gestures, forms, and movements. However, it is not only form that is important in Zen but also spirit. Through the movements of tea ceremony, we learn how to cultivate the mind and reach inner peace. These practices are not mere ritual, but a way of considering why each process is important, connecting us deeper to our practical lives.

As part of this program, you will go through the processes of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony with a national qualified tea master, who will prepare for you a traditional Japanese confection and matcha green tea. Following the ceremony, the master will explain to you the fundamentals of Zen practice, as well as the importance and role of tea utensils and the art of the Japanese tea room. With this knowledge, we hope to share with you the fundamental tenets of the Japanese spirit.
