For matcha enthusiasts who are interested in exploring more about the historical significance of matcha rather than the drink itself, this is your chance to socialize in a small group over a bowl of matcha and the stories that comes with it.

Join Aine at the Savent Christmas Market — a vibrant celebration of creativity, culture, and craft in the heart of Zurich.

I’ll be there introducing Aine’s cultural and mindful experiences, along with a free raffle offering a chance to win exclusive pre-launch sessions.
This year, I’m sharing a booth with Toqapu, weaving together the textile traditions and stories of Japan and @ni_people for a truly unique encounter.

Come by to meet, connect, and discover what’s coming next at Aine.
You’re warmly invited!

Are you interested in wearing a kimono but never had the opportunity yet? In this workshop, the participants will wear a type of kimono called a "Yukata" and experience how it feels to be wearing a kimono. The workshop will be led in English. (Wear something like leggings and a v-neck collar t-shirt so that it is easier to wear a yukata over their clothing.)

For: Older than 12, able to follow instructions without help from adults.

Booked out

For: For anyone interested in Japanese culture, ages 12 and up.
