A traditional tea ceremony just for us at Seattle Japanese Garden in the WA Park Arboretum! Practiced in Japan for centuries, the art of the tea ceremony, also called the Chado or The Way of Tea, is imbued with harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. 16th century master Sen no Rikyu refined Chado, and the WabiSabi aesthetic of simplicity and humility he taught had widespread influences, including on the architecture of tea gardens. Time to wander in the garden, too, which includes an accessible path, as well as some harder to access areas including stepping stones.

No cost to attend.
