For people who are interested to find out what “really” happens in a tea ceremony, for people curious to see how we practice we have created INTRODUCTORY LESSONS. INTRODUCTORY LESSONS are developed for groups of maximum five (5) persons. INTRODUCTORY LESSONS are practice sessions in which the visiting persons become part of the group of students who practice. The practice includes all the components of a small tea gathering: serving of sweets, setting up the fire, purification of the utensils used to make tea, the preparation and serving of tea, the cleaning and the offering of the tea utensils for admiration by the guests. An instructor, always present, provides explanations for the symbolism of salutations, the meaning of each gesture, the emotions accompanying the offering and receiving of the cup of tea, the state of meditative contemplation. The instructor is there to introduce elements of history of this particular Japanese tradition and explain the synergy resulted from the encounter of such specific Japanese handicrafts and arts as pottery, bamboo carving, flower arrangements, calligraphy with the spirituality coming from Zen Buddhism. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and peaceful. An INTRODUCTORY LESSON, which lasts for one hour and a half to two hours, provides much more information that a simple DEMONSTRATION. You can develop a sense of appreciation of this atmosphere by understanding and applying the basic conventions of the Japanese Tea Ceremony Etiquette. Some advice for those who register for an INTRODUCTORY LESSON: Please arrive with minimum 15 minutes prior to the start of the lesson. Try to wear comfortable clothing and have a pair of white socks to wear on tatami. Jewellery, watches or other hard objects which may damage the objects should not be used while on tatami. Mobile phones and cameras are not allowed during the lesson. The cost of an INTRODUCTORY LESSON for groups is of 50 ron / person. Private INTRODUCTORY LESSONS are available at 100 ron / person. |
