Table Tea Ceremony
"Mindfulness Table Tea Ceremony" is a way to practice mindfulness while cherishing the spirit of "Chanoyu" and incorporating it into your daily life, Mindfulness Table Tea Ceremony" is a way to practice mindfulness while respecting the spirit of the tea ceremony and incorporating it into your daily life.
Since the tea ceremony is performed at a table, even those uncomfortable sitting on the floor can enjoy it.
You may be interested in the tea ceremony but may be apprehensive because of the many traditions involved. While searching for mindfulness and a way to regulate my mind, I came across the Table Tea Ceremony.
“Table tea ceremony,” which can be enjoyed casually at a table without the need to sit on the floor, may be an opportunity to regain your mindfulness. Raising children is always stressful, but learning table tea ceremony allows you to spend more relaxed time facing your children.
Therefore, we want to introduce the charm of the table tea ceremony and how to begin learning to those interested in tea ceremonies and who would like to have a relaxed mind. Even if you are not sure about the etiquette of the tea ceremony, please try it because it is easy to start.
