Zen Brush​
In Zen Practice we learn to become one with the brush- one breath, one stroke, one circle.
Everything is encompassed within that one Enso… and then we let it go. As our meditation practice matures, people naturally become more creative, and the enso is a wonderful expression of this. Everything in that moment is transferred to the piece of art. It is a living piece. The way of the brush becomes metaphor for life.
Tea Culture
Tea and Zen have been connected for centuries, Tea is simple in taste and symbolizes the Human spirit. And so Tea and Zen have become inseparable, ChaZen Ichimi - Tea Zen as One.

A single swallow of tea, a single swallow of life.

BEING WITH THIS MIND
Zen is also known as the Mind School of Buddhism. Sakyamuni Buddha taught he was 'just a man, not a god', an ordinary person and he had found a way to overcome the difficulties of this life, through deep spiritual introspection and meditation as a way of daily life.
​
Zen is the continuation of this core approach to understanding ourselves as key to freedom.

Zen is about the truth of people. Living with each other we refine ourselves together, mutually we grow.
