House of Pioneers hosts a Tea Ceremony and Embodied Dialogue, led by Sangye Yanling Duan, author of Art of Presence · Way of Tea, as a contemplative counterpoint to the week’s future-shaping conversations.



As House of Pioneers explores humanity’s evolution through science, energy, and intelligent systems, this session creates space for inner clarity, relational depth, and embodied presence. Through traditional tea ceremony, guided reflection, and shared dialogue, participants are invited to move from conceptual discussion into lived experience.



Drawing from Daoist lineage and traditional Chinese living heritage, the gathering brings together women visionaries, founders, and cross-disciplinary leaders to explore how ritual, silence, and presence cultivate coherence, psychological safety, and meaningful collaboration. The session offers a reminder that sustainable innovation begins with the quality of attention and relationship from which ideas arise.
