Weaving Clouds
A newsletter about intentional contemplations, integrated explorations, mindful guidance, and photography in the context of tea
Carefully crafted as a quiet extension of Raphaël’s tea practice and Le cerf-volant‘s philosophy, Weaving Clouds offers a contemplative space for updates, reflections, and musings to unfold around the living and sensing world of tea. Delivered biweekly directly to your inbox, Weaving Clouds blend together tea culture, seasonal insights, and thoughtful notes alongside invitations to special gatherings, workshops, and shared moments. It also serves as an open window onto the visual side of this journey, through photographic work and limited prints born from tea experiences and the sacred essence of their surrounding landscapes. It is an evolving chronicle of attention, slowness, and eclectic manifestations and insights, inviting a deeper relationship with tea as ritual, practice, refuge, and way of being.
