Guided reflective tabletop ceremony
One table · four teas · four states · one action
Venue / destinationTea GalleryLimassol, Cyprus
Admission€2Per guest / tax incl.
The evening moves from your own wording to an external stress test, then to social reflection, and back to a personal decision. Four teas mark the four states. The tea does not illustrate the circles of Ikigai — each pour holds the state of its movement.
You don’t need to impress anyone. You don’t need to write beautifully. You don’t need to find a purpose for the rest of your life. What the table needs is your honest point — now.
The events are not explained in advance. If you know which part of your construction is about to be broken, you start choosing strategically durable answers instead of true ones.
“Not forever. Now.”
Anyone between two versions of themselves, and anyone who simply wants two hours of honest attention. You don’t need to impress anyone, write beautifully, or arrive with a purpose for the rest of your life — the table only needs your honest point now.
Your facilitator
Certified facilitator with more than five years of practice and 200+ games run for groups from four to sixty people. Her job is to hold the frame, not to hand out answers.
Four teas guide four different states. First you map passion, craft, audience and income, then write IKIGAI 1.0 and mark the part you most want to protect. Three unexpected events stress-test that structure while a limited adaptation resource makes every choice visible. The group then reflects what it understood — with questions, not advice. Finally the table quiets: you write “My Ikigai — now” and choose one concrete next action. Your personal passport stays with you.
Photographs from the last tea ceremony at the gallery. The structure never changes — four movements, three events, one passport each. What people write into those passports does, every time.
A room built for pouring, not for presenting. Phones go out of sight for the two hours — that request is part of the opening, and it is the first thing the evening asks of you.
28 October Ave, Limassol
Five minutes from the «Agora» stop. The entrance is from the courtyard.
The first pour is at 19:00. Ten minutes go to settling the table, then the first movement begins. The first movement and the closing reflection are the two parts of the evening we never shorten.
