'Making a bowl of Tea' workshop
For 500 years Japanese have practiced the Tea Ceremony as a way of cultivating focus, respect and mindfulness. The Way of Tea acts these values out in a pleasant drama in which you are one of the actors. No Gate Tea’s workshop is designed to make this practice available to a general audience in a relaxed manner. This workshop is open to everyone. No experience is needed. It is good practice for all ages! The class will be taught in Japanese and English. クラスはバイリンガルですので、日本語でもお問い合わせください。 |
