Wisdom workshops · the art of being present

Tea ceremony

A guided, seated ceremony, served with intention, at the pace of the room. The tea is good. The tea is not the point.

What it costs, where it happens

A guided, seated tea ceremony at the pace of the room. Express is from $150 for a circle typically under fifteen; the full ceremony and lounge is from $300. One-on-one, birthdays and weddings, small intentional gatherings, farmers markets, festivals and corporate pop-ups. South Florida included.

Gongfu cha, loosely: small pot, small cups, many pours. Between the pours we talk. I call them wisdom workshops because that is what happens when a room gets quiet together.

Where the tea has been poured

What it is

Gongfu cha, loosely: small pot, small cups, many pours. I guide it, I pour it, and in between the pours we talk — about presence, about what's actually going on, about the thing under the thing. I call them wisdom workshops because that's what happens when a room gets quiet together. Nothing mystical. Just attention, shared.

It works as a grounding counterpoint to fire, as the opening of an evening, as a retreat session, or as the thing that finally gets your team to stop talking over each other.

Formats

  • One-on-one — private tea, just you and the tray. The slowest and deepest version
  • Birthday parties and weddings — a seated ceremony as the grounding counterpoint to the party
  • Small intentional gatherings — a circle on cushions, tea opens it, the conversation does the rest
  • Public sharings at farmers markets — I’ve poured for the public at Coco Market in Delray Beach
  • Corporate pop-ups — tea and mindfulness for a team, on site, in the middle of a workday
  • Festival scale — the largest so far was Hullaween Music Festival: hundreds of participants across multiple workshops, discussions and ceremonial tea segments

Questions people ask

How many people can you serve?

Express is typically under fifteen. The full ceremony and lounge scales with the room — send the number and I'll scope it.

What do you need from us?

Space to sit on the floor, or low seating. Shade if it's daytime. Hot water access helps but I bring a kettle.

Can tea and fire be at the same event?

That's the whole arc. Tea opens the evening, fire closes it. Once we're on site and loaded in, ask about combined pricing.

Is this a private session or a group thing?

Both. Groups are where it shines, but the one-on-one version — grounding, tea, dialogue, integration — is the heart of my coaching work.

Where?

South Florida included. Further by arrangement.
