The Mountain Way
Six-Day Intensive Mentorship
The Mountain Way is an immersive training in the deeper fundamentals of tea practice. Where the Immersion grounds you in a personal practice and serving tea at home, the Mountain Way moves you into serving larger groups and sharing tea more publicly.
Over six days, you will learn through direct instruction, hands-on practice, and daily experiments that build skill, attention, and discernment. The goal is not peak experience but steady development: the capacity to prepare and serve tea with clarity, restraint, and intention, to a wider room.
The structure follows a mountain journey. Each day builds on the one before, working with heat, water, proportion, timing, aesthetics, and service across the week.
