Does anyone know of individuals who can demonstrate the traditional tea ceremony


I am the Social Studies teacher ( middle school grades 5-8) for a small independent school in southern vermont and we are doing a 12 week unit on Japan. I am hoping to find someone within a reasonable distance who can demonstrate the traditional tea ceremony and also speak to other aspects of Japanese culture both traditional and contemporary.
