Small gatherings around New York for stillness, seasonal food, music, art and making things by hand. Hosted by others, picked with care. What we would go to, refreshed as new picks come in.
An evening of Japanese ink wash painting on bamboo, a symbol of resilience in the Four Noble Ones tradition. Brush basics from the start, all materials included.
An evening on rest through Chinese medicine with third generation practitioner Dr. Michael Tong and somatic coach Valeria Itriago, pairing a talk and mindful humming with a restorative sound bath.
Make your own incense with Helen Yang of Kudzu Club, then sit down to tea together. Learn the history and process before shaping cones or sticks to take home.
Two days of art, talks and ritual exploring life through the lens of death, with Japanese artists, thinkers and makers. An invitation to slow down and consider what it means to live well.
Observe a Chinese tea ceremony, then practice brewing Fenghuang Dancong with a gaiwan in a small group. A quiet introduction to Gongfu brewing, with no prior experience needed.
Welcome winter with a shared Korean kimchi making ritual. Make napa cabbage kimchi, share a vegan lunch with music, and take home a 500g jar with a recipe card.
Yoshitsugu Nagano on nagori and kuchikiri, the farewell and renewal of the tea year, followed by a guided matcha tasting with VERDEA.
Picked by us, run by others. Dates and details come from the organizers, so check the event page before you go.
