About this Event
Step into the marriage of ancient tea wisdom and cutting-edge consciousness technology.
Imagine discovering the essence of who you truly are—not through another app or online course, but through the simple, profound act of sitting with tea while site-specific soundscapes respond to your presence in the heart of an artists haven.
This is CREÅTIVE STEEPING, a new way to sit with the self and create a conscious narrative.
What Awaits You:
🍃 Artisanal Tea Ceremony with Buckminster Barrett of Deep Creek Tea Collective...Experience aged teas from Yunnan Province, curated for curious hearts and budding palettes. Each cup becomes a doorway to presence, steeped with the precision that honors both tradition and innovation.
🫖CREÅTIVE STEEPING Introduction with Kamau Zuberi Akabueze, author and creative consciousness curator...Discover the 7-day journey of self-discovery that transforms tea time into creative awakening. From "Essence of Your Being" to "Crown Jewels of Individuality," this isn't meditation, this is creative archaeology.
⚛️ GAMELATRON SONIC SANCTUARY ExperienceWhere your collective presence participates in the environmental soundtrack. These aren't random elements, this is an alchemical union at the 10-week installation at Heron Arts in SOMA, an immersive inner exploration bridging ancient ceremony with tomorrow's consciousness technology.
Why This Matters Now:
In a world of endless digital distraction, we've forgotten our original technology: breath, awareness, presence. The Science of Steeping bridges this gap, using tea ceremony as the container and consciousness as the compass.
Kamau brings 25+ years of creative strategy and consciousness exploration, having founded TheAlienSchool.com and developed Three Days Off, he stewards practical approaches to awareness that honor both individual transformation and collective wellbeing.
Buckminster Barrett embodies steadfast devotion to Chinese tea philosophy, founding Deep Creek Tea Collective as a platform where tea culture and the people connected to it can be explored and communed with in harmony.
