“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness
Mindful Tea Ceremonies for All Occasions, All Backgrounds:

For the private Tea Ceremony (ancient Taoist style), Leila will present specially selected tea (premium Oolong or Pu’er) and guide you through a meditation that cultivates mindful process and fluid flow in a harmonious atmosphere that improves our taste bud and all the senses, health and soul. Fresh sweets will be paired to enhance the taste of the tea. Perfect for deepening your own mindful practice or celebrating special occasions with your loved ones.
– Location: Leila’s home in Amsterdam
– Pricing: 68 per person (minimal 2 people in the group)
– Length: 1.5 hours
GROUP GATHERING (10-30)
It gets better when we are together. Tea brings people together heart-to-heart and opens up more safe space for more possibilities, that’s why the ceremony is often combined with other mindful and creative practices such as Arts, Yoga, Breath work and Plant Medicine. We have the vision to build a community where conscious events are co-created with tea as the opening. Monthly donation-based events available for everyone.
-Various Locations: Nature Park, Kokopelli, Mahara Amsterdam
TEAM BUILDING (5-20)
With the world getting more chaotic, businesses getting more back to normal and us getting busier around the clock, a tea ceremony is a gentle way to reconnect among colleagues to find the common ground – it’s relaxing, interactive, recharging and meaningful. Your team will embark on a serene journey with a guided meditation through tea that leaves them calmer, more focused, and more able to face the challenges of everyday life as well as professionally.

The Way of Remembering: A 3-Month Immersive Journey
Each month invites a new portal — Body, Heart and Soul — to return you to what’s real and what truly matters. Through in-person sessions, guided online practices, creative soul work and truthful marketing support, you’ll root deeper into your essence, soften into feeling, and awaken the beauty of being. You will likely feel less need to perform or compare, and instead more life force energy flowing to help co-create with life and manifest what you truly want.
I am giving everything I have got into this immersive journey.
→ Private intimate journeys (recommended in-person+online, can also be online only)
ABOUT ME
– Born in a Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, with a lineage/descendants of Confucius. Yet grew up humbly in an ordinary and modern environment. A devotee for the ancient wisdom of the Tao – The Way of Nature. The Life Force.
– It took me a decade of inner, shadow work to re-root into my being, and to de-condition my sexual/life force/creative energy and keep on cracking my heart open, as my main channels.
-I am in a sacred union with my beloved, the best thing that ever happen to me, as a divine confirmation and a sign of totality, that comes with great responsibility and service.
– I am a woman. I drop into my deep feminine more when I feel safe. It’s an ancient calling for me to help balance our inner sacred union, to build trust.
– I have been learning from various teachers across Spirituality, Shamanism, Tantric, Trauma-informed practices (e.g. ISTA mystery school, Tantric Bodywork Trainings, Shamanic medicines with shamans, Metamorphosis, Fungi Academy, NARM trauma healing…) I am also an organiser to bring teachers I trust to wider groups of people.
– Over the last decade, I have shared 100+ various ceremonies and events across Europe, and many 1:1 sessions, and supported thousands of beings in different stages of their journeys.
– I am passionate about connecting a global community of Conscious Creators, bridging polarities through embodiment and co-creation to foster collective change and awakening.
– I have a master degree from Edinburgh University with 10+ years professional experience helping many purpose-driven businesses and creators grow consciously through marketing and business consulting, without selling their souls.
– I am just another human being who starts to remember, trying to live the best life I can and to be as real and loving as I can, and to support others in the ways that I can. No more, no less.
You can often find me guiding ceremony and facilitating groups.
I call myself a ‘Life Artist’ seeing Art is Healing and Life as a Ceremony.
TESTIMONIALS
“Gisteren mocht ik deelnemen aan de Sacred Blue Lotus Immersion en wat een bijzondere ervaring was dat! De dag begon met een betoverende thee ceremonie, geleid door Leila en Araliya, waarin woord en muziek naadloos samensmolten. Hun energie en aanwezigheid creëerden meteen een veilige en warme setting waarin ik volledig kon ontspannen. De ademhalingsoefeningen en Yoga-sessies waren prachtig afgestemd op de intentie van de dag en hielpen me om dieper in verbinding te komen met mezelf. Elke stap voelde als een uitnodiging om los te laten en te ontvangen. Het gebruik van de Sacred Blue Lotus maakte alles extra magisch. Dit smaakt absoluut naar meer – ik kom de volgende keer zeker weer!”

“This tea ceremony and meditation was a highlight of my weeklong trip ! Leila was very welcoming and the zen like space she prepared was calming and inviting. I appreciated the thoughtful conversations we exchanged about ourselves, our values, and stories/goals of our past, present, and future lives. This experience is not like others, and the flow of the session is made by and molded to the interaction between the participants and Leila. I highly recommend this experience to those who are seeking something different, something grounding yet light hearted and nourishes the soul. “

“Bijzonder! Fijne gastvrije mensen. Mooie zachte ervaring. Wel wat veel onderwerpen wellicht in twee uur. Ik had alleen thee ceremonie ook fijn gevonden. Tegelijkertijd heb ik nu wel ook geproefd aan andere dingen letterlijk en figuurlijk. Dankjewel voor het organiseren!”
