Apprenticeship
The Apprenticeship is a thirteen-week training program for those who have walked the Mountain Way. It is long-form, individualised, and hands-on. Apprentices study and practice serving tea at Cloud Hidden under Samuel's direct mentorship.
This is the deepest training Cloud Hidden offers in its structured cohort form. After the Apprenticeship, the path continues through years of active service.

Thirteen weeks,
one rhythm.
- One ceremony assist with Samuel across his three weekly ceremony slots
- One hour of solo practice time in the tea space
- One small-group session with Samuel and the cohort
- Unlimited access to Wilderness-tier ceremonies
During the program, apprentices also assist at one of the Immersions, attending the philosophical day and helping with the running of the weekend.
