SOWING THE MOON TEAHOUSE Shugetsuan
The Third Annual Tea & Zen Seminar will be held at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center from July 30 - August 3, 2008. This Seminar gives the opportunity to study temae, explore the connection between Zen and the Way of Tea, and enjoy the relaxed setting of a temple in the midst of National parkland. (Green Gulch is just north of San Francisco, California, in a valley that opens to the Pacific Ocean.)
The Seminar will make use of three tea spaces, including the Green Gulch teahouse and roji. The daily schedule will include meditation, and instruction in temae (beginners, konarai, shikaden, okuden). There will also be instruction in mizuya procedures, okashi making, chashaku carving, and chabana.
Overnight accommodations, including vegetarian meals, are available in Green Gulch guest facilities. It is also possible to attend as a commuter.
