What we’re about
Hello, welcome to Echoes of the East⛩️✨
This group explores the many aspects of Japanese spirituality: Shintoism, Buddhism, the tea ceremony, and all the unique elements that shape Japanese spirituality and mindset.
Here are some goals I have in mind:
🌱 Bringing Shintoism into Daily Life: Introducing Shinto practices and finding ways to incorporate them into everyday routines.
🍵 Embracing the Tea Ceremony: Discovering the art and philosophy of the tea ceremony as a mindful, calming part of daily life.
🌏 Cross-Cultural Connections: Comparing Japanese traditions with other cultures to spark fascinating discussions and new perspectives.
Events We’ll Explore Together:
✨ Shinto for Everyday: Simple daily practices inspired by Shintoism, "the path of the gods."
✨ Meet the Kami: An introduction to Japanese gods, their myths, prayers, and everyday ways to feel their presence.
✨ Harmony of Beliefs: Understanding how Shintoism, Buddhism, and other traditions coexist in Japanese life.
🍃 Tea Ceremony Essentials: Discovering key concepts and daily practices from the Japanese tea ceremony.
🧘♀️ Zen Meditation Gatherings: Practicing Zen meditation as a path to mindfulness and inner calm.
I’m someone who’s interested in all spiritual paths and open to learning from them all.
This group is a warm, welcoming space for healthy, respectful discussions on spirituality and cultural differences. I invite everyone with an open heart and a curious mind to join us! ☺️
