Tea Conversations : Creative Intention
Welcome to Solei.
Solei is a pop-up teahouse connecting people from different walks of life. It is your third place, your city’s living room, and where we sit down to talk to one another beyond small talk over a shared cup of tea.
Here’s what you can expect if you join us:
Arrival (2:00 to 2:30): You’ll be introduced to a group while your host serves you tea. We will provide you with conversation prompts.
Circle Conversations (2:30 to 3:15): We’ll come together as one large group so you have a chance to meet everyone in the room.
Free flows (3:15 to 4:00): Grab more tea, meet others outside your group, and wind down.
Your ticket includes tea refills and snacks. Dress comfortably (you may need to sit on the floor) and bring your lovely self. Try to come on time or early. Let us know if you’re running late!
I look forward to sharing space with you.
Coco
