Brief intro
Dear kin, my name is Jade.
I am the founder of WAOTEA, the author of the book "Tea, Remembering the Essence of Life", and a facilitator of meditative, and creative experiences.
Through the primordial language of nature, tea ritual, dao mysticism, mindfulness and the healing art — I am supporting my community navigating life’s transitions ; infusing, creating, dying, transforming.
Since 2010, I have been sourcing tea for my community — in China, Malaysia, Thailand & Japan, where I have spent time studying and exploring tea culture. I have dedicated the past 15 years studying practices and systems, such as qi gong, mindfulness meditation, biodynamic psychology, chi nei tsang, somatic movements, creative writing and dao astrology (BAZI) — inspiring and forming the web of my approach to healing, which is to encourage great intimacy and coexistence with all parts of life, and its impermanence.
I look forward to sharing a piece of this journey with you.
