🫖 Legend of the Emotional Teahouses

Each Teahouse is a circle of emotion. A ring of felt experience. A sanctuary of knowing.
Together they form the mandala of the heart.

Japanese — Heart, Mind, Spirit (as one)

The innermost core of emotion. The first ring.
Anger, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, disgust, and love — primal and archetypal.

Spanish / Flamenco tradition

The ache that stirs the soul. Raw, poetic, and real.
A chamber for longing, tenderness, nostalgia, and truth that can’t be tamed.

Māori — The Night Before Creation

The sacred dark where integration begins.
Stillness, clarity, mercy, and the grounded return to self.

Invented — from "name" + "whisper"

The untranslatable. The felt but unspeakable truths.
A ring of global soulwords — saudade, yūgen, sisu, ubuntu, hiraeth, baraka, ɬəx̌ʷəl̕.

Iroquoian — Spiritual Force of Intention

(Future Ring) The will to create, to influence, to transform.
The flame of becoming that turns emotion into power.

To feel is to map your own constellations. These teahouses are waypoints on your journey home.
