Wagashi Workshop: Fall Dahlia

🌸 Wagashi Workshop: A Ceremony of Stillness and Sweetness 🌸

Enter a space of calm and quiet beauty, where the simple act of making becomes a sacred practice. In this Wagashi Workshop, the crafting of Japanese sweets is not only an art—it is a meditation, a return to presence, a gentle ceremony for the heart.
Within a private tearoom at Peacock Court in Cupertino (near Picchetti Winery, address shared after booking), we will gather in stillness and create wagashi—delicate confections inspired by nature’s seasons. Handmade with traditional care, wagashi is a tender sweetness of beans alone: vegan, organic, authentic, and ephemeral, melting away as softly as a moment of silence.This is more than confectionery. It is a practice of reverence—for slowness, for beauty, for the nourishment that comes when hands and spirit move as one. 🌿🍵
All are welcome—families, beginners, seekers of peace. No skill required, only an open heart and willingness to slow down.

Workshop Highlights:

1. Begin in Stillness
   Settle into the space with a short guided meditation, grounding your breath and opening your senses for a mindful, heart-centered practice.
2. Discover the Spirit of Wagashi
   Learn about the significance of wagashi in the Japanese tea ceremony and the ways these seasonal sweets embody harmony with nature.
3. Hands-On Crafting
   Create your first wagashi while being gently guided step by step—learning traditional tools and techniques.
4. Flow & Creativity
   Make your second wagashi at your own pace, allowing space for creativity and personal expression to blossom.
5. Tea & Tasting
   Conclude in ceremony: share tea brewed by our tea master, savor your handmade sweets, and reflect on the stillness and sweetness of the practice. 🍵✨

This family-friendly experience invites you to slow down, connect, and create beauty with your hands and heart.
