Tea With
Jake

Tea Monk, at your service.
I open sacred space, we pour tea. The Leaf is sublime — we marvel at that. As the tea hugs us, our channels open.Then I ask:
"What does your heart want to say right now?"It’s your chance to speak — honestly, freely, without holding back. I listen with full presence. We hold space for whatever needs to rise.Something always comes through. A shift. A new insight. A moment of clarity. We follow what stirs. We sit with it. We see where it leads.It’s gentle. It’s powerful. It lasts 90 minutes over Zoom. And you’ll leave pleasantly tea drunk.
What do I bring to the tea table?

I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to sit — serve tea, and listen.I spent years in a world that moved fast — building, chasing, burning out. Until I packed up my life and moved to the Amazon jungle to follow a calling to build a retreat centre.

Somewhere along the way, I found my way back to the tea plant. Or it found me. That’s how it’s always been. No matter where I go, we find each other.At this point, I’ve stopped questioning it. I’m here as a bridge — between people, tea, and whatever wants to move through.The practice is simple:Sit. Drink the tea. Speak what’s true — or say nothing at all.Somewhere in that space, something shifts. A remembering. A spark. The kind that doesn’t need to be forced — it just needs room.I carry what I’ve learned from the jungle, from the mountains, from the plants — and from the Q’ero tradition, where I’ve been trained and initiated through Alberto Villoldo’s Four Winds Society.But mostly, I bring this: A pot of tea, a steady presence, and the reminder that you're already wonderful.I’m not your guru. I’m not your shaman. I’m not your teacher.I’m your friend.~ Jungle Jake
