Matcha & Orizuru Circle

The Origami Workshop and Matcha Session was inspired by a recent journey to Japan. Learning the tea ceremony became one of many intentional ways we explore tea… as a gateway into the circle, a way to engage the senses, and an invitation to create from presence.

We began by sharing a cup of matcha, grounding ourselves in stillness and breath. The ritual invited slowness and attention, gently preparing us for the quiet art of folding.

Together, we learned to craft orizuru (paper cranes) each fold a gesture of care. With thoughtful guidance, every participant created a delicate mobile to carry home, a reminder of the beauty born from intention.

The crane, a Japanese symbol of healing and hope, became a quiet offering. Much like the act of whisking matcha, it reminded us that creativity can be a meditative, meaningful act.

This was one in a series of sessions where tea, craft, and circle come together to form living experiences, where art is not just made, but felt, shared, and remembered.
