Origami Meets Ochakai (3rd Edition) 🍵🍡

We are delighted to reunite with our friends from Japanese Culture Club for yet another edition of Origami Meets Ochakai — once again blending the calm precision of folding with the serene spirit of a Japanese tea gathering 🍵 This special afternoon invites you to slow down, share tea and traditional snacks, and let your hands and mind move in quiet harmony 🪷

Here's an overview of what you could expect:

• In-person folding practice for all levels – beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome.
• The participation fee is €5 per person to support the non-profit engagement of our host Shumei Berlin. In return, you will be served traditional Japanese tea and refreshments throughout the afternoon.
• Origami paper + model instructions will be provided (from the host’s collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools!
• Photos may be taken for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) – let the host know if you prefer not to appear.

⚠️ RSVP Policy – Please Read ⚠️
Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing — but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully:

• RSVP opens 14 days before each event (apart from short-notice events) and closes at noon on the event day.
• Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our Telegram channel) by noon on the event day if you can't make it last minute.
• Members with 2 no-shows (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided.

Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful, reliable, and fun community! 🙏
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you all at the folding tables very soon! 🍵🍡
