This group is a community based in San Francisco and the Bay Area
for those who wish to slow down and reconnect with themselves
through the quiet ritual of Japanese tea.
In a fast-paced, productivity-driven world,
we create space for stillness, presence, and mindful connection —
experienced in person, here in San Francisco.
