A wonderful experience! 100% recommend 🫶🏻
This 1.5 hour Zen Meditation was wonderful and extraodinary! My first time experience. It was conducted with some professional details yet very interesting. A great introduction to Zen meditation, together with a simple calming tea ceremony and caligraphy with fun, even with Q&A in the end. Tamami is a great energetic guide with excellet english attending to every details and logistics. Monk Namiki-san was very kind and inspirational, his teaching/answers and time spent with us is very much appreciated.
Lovely experience with meditation
This was such a cool experience for my family of 6. I was hesitant about this activity because we are followers of Christ and I didn’t want to guide my family in a wrong direction. Zen is more of a philosophical way than a religion and all of us can benefit from the quieting of our minds. I’m so glad I kept the reservation. Everyone loved it.
Great experience. Learnt a lot about Japanese zen meditation. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
A very simple yet very enlightening ceremony. Thank you so much to Tamami for the smooth meet up and run of show. Delicious Uji matcha served at the ceremony. Thank you
It was a wonderful experience specially because Tamami was very professional and friendly and patient! she also gave me her Rakugan sweet when she saw that I liked it a lot😌 The calligraphy was also fun! Will try to make the zen meditation my daily habit from now on!
