First Voice of Spring Tea Gathering-Saturday, 1st seating

With Chizuko Sueyoshi and members of the Japanese Tea Practitioners of Durham

Join us for a moment of respite in the Duke Gardens teahouse, where you will experience the centering calm of a traditional Japanese tea gathering. Enjoy the aesthetics, poetry and serenity of this rich tradition over an enticing bowl of whisked green tea and a Japanese confection.  Guests will meet in a special parking location to be escorted on a 10-minute walk to the teahouse. Seating is on the ground unless a chair is requested during registration by emailing GardensEducation@duke.edu. Capacity of eight; for ages 12 and up.

Fee: $68; 20% discount for Duke Gardens members with discount code

Parking: Parking is included and available only for the program’s duration.

Location: Meet your guide in a special parking location that will be included in the program reminder to be sent by email about a week before the program.

Accessibility: This is a small group program that takes place seated on the ground inside a non-climate controlled space. To reach the teahouse, the group will travel together on a combination of paved and unpaved paths with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines. Seating is on the ground unless a chair is requested in advance. You may also request a cart to transport you, rather than traveling with the group. This program will end at the teahouse. You can choose to return to the parking lot or stay in the garden to continue exploring on your own. Email GardensEducation@duke.edu to request a chair or cart transportation.
