than the seed of Oneness
laying within the heart…
An invitation to remember the essence of life…
Join me for an exploration of the healing wisdom of Nature — through the living path of tea (茶道), meditation, BaZi astrology (八字), qigong 身体修炼, healing arts, archetypal study and somatic embodiment.

Online courses
A Journey with Tea 茶道
An online journey dedicated to the meditative and ritualistic practice of tea 茶道 ; the tea plant, its philosophy, stories, artistic forms and mindfulness — honoring and celebrating the breathing wisdom of this plant. This course was weaved from my personal journey sitting with tea, and learning from tea cultivators, artisans and enthusiasts, for the longest part of my life.
This online course is pre-recorded with over ten hours of videos, audios, writing and practices, so you can journey with the content on your own and with the support of community, through our monthly community tea gatherings.
Elemental Way of Receptivity
An invitation to journey intimately with the five changes, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth & Metal – and the five spirits, Hun, Shen, Yi, Po, Zhi – through poetic meditations, guided practices, movement, stillness, experiential rituals and artistic imagery, to support the nervous system and creative potential, and practice the art of paying attention to our sensitive Nature, infusing our sensitivity as a creative force.
INNER LANDSCAPE 命境
An empowering and healing journey studying the system of BAZI astrology. In this course, we learn how to study and read a chart, to understand its elemental composition and energy imprint, in archetypal forms. Through the lens of this astrological system, we explore the complexity of our psyche, how external energy moves & influences our internal energy, how to be receptive to our areas of growth and areas of strenght, and the unconscious invisible parts of ourselves awaiting to become visible and integrated. We learn about our celestial & elemental allies, and explore languages & practices to remember how to be receptive to it all.
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 with more ease ; 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 the path & culture of tea. I have dedicated the past 15 years of my life studying practices and systems, such as qi gong, mindfulness meditation, biodynamic psychology, chi nei tsang, somatic movements, creative writing and dao astrology (BAZI) — refining my approach to healing, which is to encourage greater intimacy and coexistence with all parts of life, and its impermanence.
I serve my community in English, in French and in silence.
I look forward to sharing a piece of this journey with you.
