About the Platform and the Use of Technology
AMAR is a platform that invites participants to cultivate presence, sustain human connections, and maintain kind spaces, without excessive dependence on technology.
For this reason:
-
Access to recordings, support materials, and resources will be direct, without the need to remain constantly connected.
-
Reminders are sent via personal message (WhatsApp) as a form of human contact that supports without overwhelming.
-
The platform is designed to foster a gentle process, free from rush or pressure, while encouraging the participant to sustain their commitment and personal discernment.
Resources and Community
By being part of Stillness, you gain access to:
Recordings of the monthly meetings (only the facilitator’s screen is recorded; participants remain anonymous).
Downloadable resources: support materials, reading recommendations, online tea shops, Japanese poetry, and more.
Tea Room: Cherry Blossom
As part of the membership, you will have access to a private WhatsApp community called Tea Room: Cherry Blossom. This space opens only on Fridays, with the intention of sharing a weekly haiku as a seed for reflection. It is a place where participants can exchange personal reflections and share their experiences around the path of tea and the ceremonies proposed during the membership. This space is not meant for debate, but to maintain a kind and human environment, where silence, symbolic language, and words shared from experience hold value.
Content Availability
Stillness virtual expedition lasts 12 months. At the end of the annual cycle, the participant will have an additional 3 months of access to the content. After that period, all material will be removed from the platform to make way for a new cycle.
Personal Support
-
Stillness offers 1:1 support sessions as an additional, non-mandatory resource.
-
1:1 Sessions are an additional service to the Stilness programme, with a separate cost, paid in advance to secure the spot.
-
By booking a session, the participant accepts the cancellation and rescheduling policies.
-
Each session lasts 40 minutes.
-
If the participant cannot attend, notice must be given at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule at no extra cost.
-
In case of no-show or no notice, the session will be considered taken, and no refunds or rescheduling will be offered.
-
1:1 sessions are personalised spaces to support the participant’s process, but they do not replace medical, psychological, or professional therapeutic advice.
-
1:1 support sessions are facilitated by Itzel or Amira, depending on availability and the participant’s choice when booking.
-
Content shared during sessions is confidential, protecting each participant’s privacy.
-
Participation in these sessions implies the participant’s responsibility for their own process, understanding that Itzel and Amira and Itzel provide tools, reflections, and support, but each step depends on the individual’s decision.
-
Sessions can be requested through the website by selecting the corresponding programme. We recommend booking only if the participant wishes to deepen their process.
