    I loved the part about not influencing the guests into our own biases and ideals. I think because Chanoyu is Japanese, and many people in the west love to pump meanings and symbolisms into Japanese culture and make it "orientally exotic", people also come with an expectation that you are going to give them a transcendental culture shot through the heart. I like to perform tea in a way that avoids many of these expectations and when people come into the realization that after the performance they have had some minutes of peace and inner thought by themselves, I think I achieve the harmony that I would like to cultivate. I love your podcasts! Thank you for all the insight!

      'Shot through the heart, and you're to blame, you give tea, a bad name." There's a slippery and important podcast topic in this. Thanks heaps, Nichole.

      @ it is quite slippery. In Latin America there is a resurgence of popularity of Japanese culture and many people are hopping back into the "exotic japan" aesthetic and ideals. I get called to perform "invented tea ceremonies" and people expect me to make somersaults and dance around their bagged tea jajaja. There´s also groups of people who enlarge whatever symbolism exists in whatever cultural activity they participate in (martial arts for example) and make it a whole nansansu-bushido kind of thing jajaj. I would love to discuss this topic further with you.

Cultures (including you and me) holding onto their traditions should open their arms to those who resonate with their practices. On the flip side, "outsiders" need to approach these practices with care, avoiding hasty judgments. Somewhere in this delicate dance, we might see a pathway to deeper mutual understanding, lifting each other up along the way. This relates to the principle of "No Borders" i.e. I welcome everybody, but my door is not always open.
