Tea Ceremony

Date: Friday, July 22 

Time: 12:45PM-2:45 PM

Where: Russells' residence (901 Alameda Ave, Monterey)

 

We will be meeting at the Russells' home at 12:45PM then leave shortly before 1:00 for the tea ceremony in Pebble Beach.  The ceremony itself will start at 1:30 and will last until about 2:30.  I expect we will be back at our house by 2:45. 

Please dress nicely, but comfortably with clean, all-white socks.  Remove dangly earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.  Also remove, or don't wear, large or flashy rings.  For those with long hair, please tie it up or back to prevent it from falling in your tea bowl when you bow!

Parents, we will need drivers to help car pool everyone.  Of course, you can participate in the tea ceremony!  Many past parents have said this experience is similar to going to a spa - it is very peaceful and relaxing.  It seemingly transports you to a time and place very far away.

Last, please respond if you can or cannot attend.  I must provide the tea teacher with a headcount as she must prepare the appropriate amount of tea in advance.

Look forward to this experience, it is wonderful, unique opportunity!
