Hello, I'm the Tea Peddler and Cartomancer

I started Via Tiempo to share my love of tea. For me, tea is a bridge to the elemental world and a companion for a contemplative and artful life. As a qigong teacher in the Daoist lineage, Xiantianwujimen, I also experience tea as a way to nourish vitality and harmonize with the seasons. When you have tea with me, you’ll notice that I tend to emphasize the feeling of the tea, the way it affects you, more than the flavor. In my letters, I welcome the imaginative, evocative, or poetic quality of the tea. Lately I've been using the phrase Elemental Poetry to describe the feelings and visions tea can evoke.

My Tea Oracle deck, completed in 2024, has extended how I welcome people into contemplative life. Its archetypes hold my reflections on fifteen years of wandering through imaginal and ritual practices, reading philosophy, learning from the elements, brewing endless pots of tea, and teaching Doaist qigong and Buddhist meditation retreats. Whether sharing tea or giving a Tea Oracle reading, the timeless space that opens up in these contemplative environments is the heart of Via Tiempo.
