Hello, and welcome to the Tea Ceremony Online Course.

I am Tyas Sōsen, and I'm a Japanese tea ceremony instructor in the Enshū school, which is one of the warrior-styles of tea ceremony.

I've been teaching tea ceremony for the past seven years, and I've been learning tea ceremony for over 14 years in Japan. In recent years, I have taught most of my students online through Skype and Zoom.

I have learned a lot about the online environment and how the ceremony can be taught online. Traditionally tea ceremony is something that you learn physically in a tea chamber together with other persons.

It's a lot about the atmosphere and how you share that moment with others and you can't really do that online.

But what I've learned is that before you can actually start to appreciate, and really understand what tea ceremony is about, there are a lot of procedures and formalities that you need to know before you start.

This elementary understanding, and the necessary procedures can easily be learned online, on your own, with my guidance. So, in the beginning stages, the restrictions of the online environment are not as restrictive as you might think.

Since I have taught many students online, I have seen the benefits of what an online environment can do for someone who is just starting to learn the tea ceremony.

Therefore, instead of limiting myself to teaching these sessions 1-on-1 for years, it's time for me to reach more people with this amazing knowledge and its amazing culture.

To start learning tea ceremony somewhere, usually you either have to come to Japan or you have to commit to learning with a teacher for a lifetime... or it's not really nearby.

There aren't that many opportunities to learn tea ceremony online!

So here is Tea Ceremony Online Course,... the WORLD'S FIRST online video course on tea ceremony that is designed to take you through the basics in six elementary modules.

But of course you don't have to take them in six weeks. It's six modules. Six steps that build up one whole service of tea ceremony from start to finish.

Here's What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to host a full service of tea using the round-tray setup, which can be executed both seated comfortably at a table or on a tatami floor.

You will begin with opening up the arrangement, ritually cleansing and purifying the utensils. You will make and serve a bowl of matcha to your guests. When the utensils return, you'll cleanse everything again, and reset the entire arrangement to conclude the cycle of a service of tea.

You will learn all the basic skills and steps that you will have to take. And they will be accompanied by in-depth explanation of why you need to do those steps, or why you need to do something first and then something else after that.

You will also learn about the significance of all motions and handlings.

The course really focuses on YOU!

You will become able to do everything; the foldings, which take some practice to get used to; you'll become able to do the whole procedure.

This includes what to do first, what to do next, knowing why you're doing it, what the significance is of folding it in a certain way or what the difference is between the two types of folding that you do with the Fukusa, etc. The significance of all the steps will become clear to you.

You will also receive a wealth of information about the background of tea ceremony and the things that you do in the tea chamber.

After the basic segment of the course you have the opportunity to expand your knowledge with an Advanced and a Pro module that will take your tea ceremony to the next level.

In these advanced modules you will get access to lessons on peripheral aspects that include, for example, the display in the alcove, arranging flowers, how to walk and move around in a tatami-matted tea chamber, etc.

The ADVANCED segment focuses on expanding the basic tray-service you have learned in the initial lessons and augments it with further knowledge and alternative approaches.

The PRO segment then allows you to implement all the knowledge and skills you have learned, into a full service of tea ceremony as it is conducted in a proper tatami-matted tea chamber.

Really, this course includes a wealth of knowledge about tea ceremony that you can learn now so that you can get a full understanding about the basics of tea ceremony.
This is where to start your tea ceremony journey.

At the end of already the basic segment, after 6 modules, you will be able to serve a bowl of matcha to someone using the basic tray-service of tea ceremony.

You will already possess all the skills and the necessary knowledge to embark further on your tea ceremony journey from here-on.

On top of this you will receive guidance on the things that you can do to continue learning tea ceremony, how you can further your tea ceremony practice. And! there's always the possibility for you to come to Japan and learn directly from me to really deepen your understanding.

So I really hope to see you on the inside and I really hope that we can embark on this journey together!
