Kungfu Tea Ceremony with Travel Tea Table
Location: Rietveldpaviljoen, Amersfoort
Date: 17 January, 2026
Sensory ritual / Hand dance / Osmanthus / Storytelling
In small groups of no more than three participants per session (40 min.), I host three sessions of Kungfu tea ritual by unfolding the flower tea 'Osmanthus' (桂花). The ceremony weaves the aroma and flavour of Osmanthus with storytelling, movement, and mindful hand dance performance, inviting the participants to experience the art of slowness, of truly tasting, and a journey into (inner)landscapes.
Travel Tea Table, a tailor-made art installation specially for interactive and intimate tea rituals, crafted from a roughly century-old Maple tree from Oudegracht, Utrecht. The low tea table, enriched with local botanical highlights and a 360-degree rotating panel, invites play, mindfulness, and connection.
