On May 4, 2024, we had our first-ever joint event with the Sakura Hawaii Alumnae (SHA) and the Urasenke Hawaii Association.
For those that are not familiar, Urasenke is a traditional Japanese tea ceremony that emphasizes the bond between the host and the guest. The Way of Tea is more than serving and drinking tea, it brings together many aspects of Japanese culture and it shows us how we can live each day with Harmony (和), Respect (敬), Purity (清), and Tranquility(寂)— basic elements to understand and appreciate each other and our community.
Members and their guests joined us in learning the Way of Tea! We had two (2) sessions, lasting 45 minutes, where we learned how the way of tea can be translated to our everyday life and business while learning to whisk and drink tea!
