Origami Meets Ochakai (3rd Edition) 🍵🍡

We are delighted to reunite with our friends from Japanese Culture Club for yet another edition of Origami Meets Ochakai — once again blending the calm precision of folding with the serene spirit of a Japanese tea gathering 🍵 This special afternoon invites you to slow down, share tea and traditional snacks, and let your hands and mind move in quiet harmony 🪷

Here's an overview of what you could expect:

In-person folding practice for all levels – beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome.
The participation fee is €5 per person to support the non-profit engagement of our event location Shumei (a Japanese new religion). In return, you will be served traditional Japanese tea and refreshments throughout the afternoon.
Origami paper + model instructions will be provided (from the host’s collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools!
Photos may be taken for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) – let the host know if you prefer not to appear.

⚠️ RSVP Policy – Please Read ⚠️
Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing — but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully:

RSVP opens 14 days before each event (apart from short-notice events) and closes at noon on the event day.
Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our Telegram channel) by noon on the event day if you can't make it last minute.
Members with 2 no-shows (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided.

Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful, reliable, and fun community! 🙏
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you all at the folding tables very soon! 🍵🍡
