Discover Chinese Tea Culture – Join Me for a Tea Farm Tour
👉 **To join:** Please add Daisy on WeChat at **daisy00233**
**We conduct all discussions over WeChat only.**
Hello, my name is Daisy Wen. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate and later completed an LLB with the University of London.
Beyond academics, I have a long-standing fascination with Chinese tea culture. In China, tea is far more than a beverage. It is deeply woven into history, daily life, etiquette, art, and philosophy. Even the Japanese tea ceremony traces its roots back to tea traditions of the Tang Dynasty.
I am beginning to organize small, relaxed visits to tea farms for those who are genuinely curious about tea — how it is grown, harvested, processed, and appreciated.
If you enjoy meaningful cultural experiences and good conversation over a proper cup of tea, I am forming a WeChat group for like-minded friends.
Let us meet for a cuppa and see where the journey takes us.

Stop Leaking Energy: Breathwork Reset for Stress, Focus, and the AI Overwhelm Er

Your breath may be the missing reset button in the age of stress, distraction, and AI overwhelm. 🌿
💡In today’s fast-moving world of AI, constant notifications, work pressure, and mental overload, many people feel exhausted yet unable to properly switch off. Join Jason Ryer for a practical and beginner-friendly breathwork session designed to help you reduce stress, improve focus, restore energy, and calm the nervous system naturally.
This interactive webinar explores how common breathing habits quietly drain energy, increase tension, and affect recovery. Jason will guide participants through simple breathwork techniques that can be used during work, stressful moments, or before sleep to create better self-regulation and mental clarity.
If you are experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, poor focus, or difficulty relaxing, this session will give you practical tools you can immediately apply in everyday life.
📅Join us this Sunday for “Stop Leaking Energy: A Practical Breathwork Reset for Stress, Focus, and the AI Overwhelm Era” with Jason Ryer, Founder of Zen Strength and Certified Breath Coach, for an interactive session on using breathwork to improve focus, reduce stress, and restore energy in modern life.

• Learn how breathwork can help calm the nervous system and improve mental clarity.
• Experience a practical guided breath reset during the session.
• Discover the difference between forcing relaxation and creating conditions for recovery.
• Leave with a simple daily breath practice to support stress management, focus, and better recovery.
• Learn practical tools that can help during work pressure, emotional stress, or mental overwhelm.
**🎯Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits**

**About the Speaker**
Jason Ryer is the Founder of Zen Strength, a Performance Nervous System Coach, Certified Breath Coach, and Bulletproof Human Potential Coach based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. After spending more than 15 years in technology and consulting, Jason rebuilt his own health through breathwork, cold exposure, and nervous system training.

Sunday Scribbles (Free-writing Time)
Get ready creative writers! Inkwell is proud to announce Sunday Scribbles, our latest event for the Shanghai writing community.
Sunday Scribbles is a low stress gathering for your Sunday afternoon creative writing. Join us to work, chat, and write to your heart's content. (Mostly write, though). Add Ryan (WechatID: texaswriter) to figure out where we are meeting this week and to ask any questions. I don't keep Meetup very up to date and everything Inkwell does is organized through wechat groups, so even if the number of attendees is low, there's likely an event still going on. Add Ryan, and you can join the wechat group where everything is happening.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
What do we do here?: Mostly write and work quietly with some chatting
What to bring?: Something to work on
What we don't do?: Edit things for you, serve as writing consultants
What does it cost?: Free, but please order something to support the venue.
What is Inkwell?: There's a lot of information about the workshop located on the website: www.inkwell.asia.
Meet Writing Workshop veterans and other Workshoppers for the latest info on writing prompts and activities. It's also the perfect chance to make the Sunday night deadline for that week's Writing Workshop.
Sunday Scribbles is organized by Paula Willis who has been in Shanghai since early 2018 and a member of the writing group since fall 2019.
Bring something to write with and we'll see you there!

Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey.
Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen.
This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are.

Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen.
This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are.

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
