As I’m thinking about a future gentle painting session, I’d love to get a sense of what might work for you. If you’re open to it, feel free to comment with:– one or two time windows that usually feel easiest This is just to get a general sense — no commitment at all.

I’ve been connected to art from a young age and create based on whatever inspires me in the moment. I enjoy exploring different subjects, especially portraits and expressive pieces, and I’m always open to learning and growing creatively. Art is a space where I feel free, and I love connecting with others who share that passion.

Hello dear Tea House friends, I’ve been thinking about work that never really finishes. I came across the story of Shigeru Ban, who once paused his career because building only for the privileged no longer felt true. He began rebuilding homes and gathering spaces after disasters — often with simple, temporary materials. What stayed with me wasn’t the architecture. It was the nature of the work. Work that repeats. That restores. That doesn’t end with a clear result. It made me think about my own life — and maybe yours too. There are things we return to again and again: care, listening, creating, tending, holding space. They don’t look like progress. But they are what keeps things alive. 🤍 What is one piece of your never-finished work that matters to you right now? It could be something small. Something quiet. Something only you notice. If you feel like sharing, one word or one sentence is enough. And if not, that’s okay too. Some work is meant to be returned to —layer by layer. Cheering you on, Beáta

This week’s theme is stepping closer — not to a goal, not to an answer, but to what’s already here. Winter can make everything feel distant. So instead of trying to change the season, we can gently reduce the distance. The Ritual: 1. Choose one thing nearby. Something ordinary: a mug, a notebook, a piece of fabric, a plant, a corner of a painting, light on the wall. 2. Step closer, literally. Move your body closer to it. Not to analyse, just to see more. 3. Stay with one detail. A line. A texture. A colour. A small imperfection. 4. One quiet sentence (optional) If you feel like writing, complete one line in your journal: “Up close, I notice…” ☕ If you’d like to share You’re welcome to reply with: - one word - one sentence - or a photo of the detail you noticed Presence counts even when it’s invisible. Come back to this ritual whenever you need a softer landing. Have a great week! ❤️

I hosted a quiet Dream Board practice today. The replay is now available in the Tea House, if you’d like to watch or return to it.
