Japanese Tea Ceremony | A Moment of Stillness
Step into a quiet, intentional space and experience the beauty of the Japanese tea ceremony. Rooted in centuries-old tradition, this gathering invites guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and share a bowl of tea prepared with care and mindfulness.
Through simple movements, seasonal aesthetics, and the sharing of tea and sweets, the ceremony offers a gentle pause from daily life—a reminder of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. No prior knowledge is needed; all are welcome to simply arrive as they are and enjoy the moment.
This is not a performance, but a shared experience—one that unfolds slowly, quietly, and with warmth.
The lunar new year begins on Feb 17, 2026. Starting in February through the middle of March, Emergent Arts and Taiwanese/Hot Springs artist, Bai Mros will bring you unique experiences to celebrate the occasion.
