This is a gentle space.Speak to others the way you would in a quiet tea house — with warmth, respect, and curiosity.
2. Share, but don’t compare
Everyone here creates at their own rhythm. No critique unless someone explicitly asks for feedback. Celebrate effort, not perfection.
3. Privacy is sacred
What is shared in the Tea House stays in the Tea House.Treat personal reflections with confidentiality and care.
4. One voice at a time
When discussing sensitive topics, allow space.We take turns. We listen deeply.
5. All levels welcome
Beginners, returning creatives, seasoned artists — everyone belongs.No experience is required; only openness. 6. No self-promotion or selling
Unless invited, please keep marketing, links, and offers outside the Tea House.This space is for connection, not commerce.
7. Ask for support gently
You may share struggles or creative blocks — just frame them with kindness toward yourself.We are here to support, not to rescue.
8. Tea House tone
Softness. Honesty. Curiosity.Bring your humanity — leave harshness outside.

Share your work freely but do not use others’ images without permission.
10. If something feels off — speak up
This community thrives when we care for the space together. Tell me privately if you notice anything that needs tending.
