Quite often for the Feminine to flourish and spread her wings there also needs to be a solid foundation in the Masculine – form, mind, information, methods. For when there is at least some foundation in all this sea of information, there is a certain sense of stability, strong ground, from which the bird of the feminine can push from and fly. The Yang part is designed so that those who are not particularly familiar with the tea terminology, types of tea, processing, teaware and all the other elements in the tea ceremony. But there will also be some important nuances and my personal experience from travelling to tea regions that could be useful not only to beginners.

Most of this information can be found online. But if you are similar to me and personal transmission of embodied leadership and experience is important and useful to you when receiving knowledge - then this Yang part is for you. And in these days when EVERYTHING can be found online – all information one can imagine - this personal energy, this personal guidance is becoming even more important.
