About us

### ★ Purpose of the Group

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.

### Who is this group for?

✔︎ Busy professionals in San Francisco / Bay Area
✔︎ People interested in mindfulness and well-being
✔︎ Those interested in Japanese language and Japanese culture
✔︎ People who would like to connect and interact with Japanese people
✔︎ Those curious about traditional Japanese arts such as tea ceremony,
flower arrangement (ikebana), and calligraphy
✔︎ Anyone who enjoys calm, meaningful, and relaxed gatherings
No prior knowledge of Japanese culture or arts is required.
Beginners are always welcome.
All events are hosted in English.

### What happens at the events?

✔︎ In-person Japanese tea gatherings in San Francisco
✔︎ Opportunities to experience Japanese culture through tea,
and seasonal cultural elements
✔︎ Quiet moments to enjoy tea and gentle conversation
✔︎ Simple practices to step away from daily busyness
This is not a class or a lecture.
It is an experience designed to be felt, not studied.
