The Seminar will make use of three tea spaces, including the Green Gulch teahouse and roji (garden). The daily schedule will include meditation, and instruction in  temae (beginners, konarai, shikaden, okuden). There will also be instruction in mizuya procedures, okashi making, chashaku carving, and chabana.
