Join us for a quiet and creative gathering centered around the
simple art of origami and the calming ritual of tea.
Lotus Origami + Tea
In this two-hour experience, participants will learn how to fold a paper lotus step by step while enjoying a warm cup of tea and conversation. Origami is a beautiful way to slow down the mind and focus the hands. Through a series of simple folds, a square of paper gradually transforms into a lotus flower.
The lotus has long symbolized clarity, patience, and quiet growth. This gentle activity invites participants to pause, breathe, and create something meaningful from a simple piece of paper.
No previous origami experience is needed. This session is designed to be welcoming, relaxed, and enjoyable for beginners.
All materials are provided, and each participant will leave with a finished lotus and the knowledge to continue folding at home.
This experience runs for approximately two hours.
