TEA BOWL SESSION
As a ceremony, bowl tea connects us to Nature, ourselves and others. This is tea as medicine, as it has been drunk for thousands of years by aboriginal shamans, long before anyone began refining its processing or preparation. We will share the moment of tranquility together. The tea bowls are not about quality, as it is a mind made criteria, but about the celebration of the moment and appreciation of simplicity in life.

Floating Mountain, located on 2nd floor at 239 West 72nd Street, is NYC newest tea house. Let's go together and share in a moment of tranquility during a tea bowl session in a relaxed zen atmosphere.
After the tea bowl session, we can stay longer to enjoy a brew from one of their 40 different teas on the menu.
I am looking forward to seeing you all again and hopefully meeting some new members as well.
