ACTIVITIES

We have members who are certified by Urasenke Tradition of Chado that provide classes. If you are interested in contacting teachers, visit

our teachers page.

There is an Annual Meeting every Autumn open to all members where the board reports on Wakai's activities.

Chakai are tea gatherings held mostly for Wakai members. Hatsugama (Celebration of New Year), Rikyuki (Commemoration of Rikyu, the founding master of Urasenke tea tradition), Shoburo (the first kettle of the summer season), Summer Tea, Robiraki (Celebration of Opening of Sunken Hearth).

By becoming a Wakai member, you will be eligible to receive Kyojo (certificates) to study tea procedures. Kyojo can be achieved through Urasenke certified teachers that are a part of the Urasenke recognized associations.

Workshops such as Kagetsu Study, Kaiseki Workshops are offered to members who study Chado to pursue deeper and focused study for specific procedures or aspects of Chado.
