Wahei Takeda – often referred to as the “Warren Buffett of Japan” – was a joyful and successful entrepreneur, well known for his life philosophy rooted in gratitude and love. He believed that:
1. True success doesn’t come from overexertion, but from a deep inner state of gratitude and peace, known as Maro (short for magokoro – a sincere, pure heart).
2. When someone reaches a “Maro Up” state, they naturally attract positive energy, opportunities, support, and wholesome relationships – like a magnet radiating from within.
Wahei didn’t just speak about this philosophy – he applied it directly in his factories. Workers were encouraged to listen to children singing “Arigato” (thank you in Japanese) while they made candies for the kids. His candy became beloved by children, and he truly believed that joyful, grateful, and kind energy infuses into products and radiates out into the world.
He simply loved children and loved the idea that his candies could bring them happiness – and he gladly received their thank-you notes to his team.
Therefore:
• You don’t have to be perfect – just sincere and grateful.
• You don’t always have to “try harder” – you just need to raise your inner frequency.
• When you live in a state of Maro – you no longer chase success; success finds its way to you.
AWARENESS STATION/strong>
Have you ever felt tired from constantly moving forward, trying so hard, yet never truly feeling “okay”?
Here, we will sit down together and reflect: What patterns am I carrying? Am I living my life — or someone else’s?
| Self-Reflection
• Am I living by what I truly believe, or by what others expect of me?
• Have I ever allowed myself to truly feel the “uncomfortable” emotions within?
• What am I constantly avoiding, just because I assume “it’s probably not that important”?
REALIGNMENT STATION
Success doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from finding a rhythm that truly aligns with who you are. Here, you’ll learn how to create a new rhythm – disciplined enough to stay on course, and gentle enough not to burn out.
| Self-Reflection
• Is my current pace nurturing me or draining me?
• If I could choose a way of living that stays true to myself, how would it be different from now?
• What has been stopping me from maintaining a gentle discipline with myself?
PHASE 3: HARMONY STATION
Transformation isn’t about becoming “someone else” — it’s about coming back to yourself: deeper, freer, and more grounded. When that happens, you no longer force yourself to live — you simply radiate your true being.
| Self-Reflection
• Is there something I’m still trying to “earn acceptance” for, even if it’s not truly me?
• When I feel most like myself — what am I doing, where am I, and who am I with?
• If I allowed myself to live a little more authentically… what might begin to shift in my life?

Tea Talk is a private – cozy – tranquil space where you and Tina can:
• Revisit a turning point in life or a heavy emotion you’ve been carrying.
• Release the tangled thoughts in your mind and place the first few stones toward peace.
• No need for deep analysis or long-term plans—just a space to return, reconnect, and soften.

Fee: 1,000,000 VND/person (includes good tea and a sky of your own). Max 2 people.
You can come alone.
Or with someone dear to your heart.
This is a safe space where two people… can simply be themselves.
This is not just about “trying harder.”
It’s a journey of deep, foundational restructuring.
This program is for you if:
• You often start with excitement but quit halfway.
• You lose motivation easily without someone to keep you accountable.
• You feel you have potential, but not quite the grit to stay the course.
• You’ve tried many self-discipline methods—but none have truly stuck with you for long.

6 months – building a solid foundation, step by step
The program includes:
• 1:1 coaching to personalize your goals and practice
• Monthly group coaching & training to maintain rhythm and motivation
• Collaborative group learning activities to grow together
• An in-person session or retreat in the final month (depending on conditions)
Sometimes, it’s not that love has faded—just that you’re both exhausted.
This retreat is a gentle space for you and your beloved… to breathe again.
After years of living together, perhaps you’ve:
• Stopped truly listening, seeing each other like strangers.
• Forgotten yourself—and how to love each other gently.
• Been busy “for each other” but no longer “with each other.”
A 2-day-1-night retreat in Phu Yen
A deep pause, created just for two:
• One is you.
• The other could be your partner, a family member, or someone you wish to reconnect with.
⸻
During the retreat, the two of you or your family will experience:
• Coaching & guided conversations with Tina – to understand without judgment.
• Tea moments by the sea or under the porch – simply sitting together, doing nothing but being present.
• Personal quiet time – to return to yourself, before coming back to each other with more depth.
• A private dinner, thoughtfully prepared – gentle, intimate, like a small ritual honoring your connection.
