🌿👘 Embracing Stillness: Letting Go and Trusting the Flow

There’s a beautiful Japanese idiom: 成り行きに任せる — leave it to the natural course of things. It’s a reminder that we don’t always need to be in control. Sometimes the most peaceful thing we can do is pause, sit with nature, sip tea, and simply let life flow.

This autumn, I was reminded of this truth while enjoying a quiet kimono moment outdoors. Surrounded by stillness, I felt grounded, grateful, and at peace.

✨ If you’d like to experience this kind of mindful tea moment in community, I invite you to a special event:

📍 Cedar + Elm (@cedarandelmseattle)
👨🍳 With Chef Masai (@chefmasai)
📅 Tuesday, October 21 | 2:30–5:30PM

Together, we’ll explore 5 classic Japanese teas, thoughtfully paired with 2–3 seasonal confections crafted by Chef Masai. It’s an afternoon dedicated to presence, taste, and beauty.

Come join us, sip deeply, and perhaps, like me, rediscover the calm that comes from letting go. CLICK HERE 🍵💚
