Aunt Tea

Become An Aunt

You have lived long enough, and wildly enough, to tell the truth without judgement. There is a young woman who needs exactly that and has nowhere else to find it.

What An Aunt Does

  • Tells the truth, warmly, with no script and no lecture
  • Chooses her own hours, and says when the week is full
  • Is paid for her time, directly, and keeps every dollar
  • Comes to the tea parties and meets her Darling before anything begins

What It Costs

Belonging $10 a month

The same for an Aunt and for a Darling. It is the community you are paying for — your profile, every woman here, the tea parties, and the letters between you.

A tea party $20 holds your place

It comes off the price of the day. Change your plans and it waits in your Purse for the next one.

An hour with your Aunt is fifty dollars, or seventy-five shared between two Darlings, and you pay her directly. Aunt Tea takes none of it and processes none of it, so what the two of you agree stays between the two of you.

We Are Only Just Opening Our Doors

Aunt Tea begins in Melbourne, and it grows to wherever you are. Until there are 60 of us in your state, you are a founding member and every part of it is free. Your ten dollars begins the month your state reaches sixty, when there is a full room waiting for you.

We write to you before that month arrives, so you always hear it from us first. Your profile is yours from the very first day either way.

Come And Be An Aunt

Four lines, and you are one of us. Nothing goes up anywhere and nobody sees this but Aunt Tea.

Anything at all. A sentence is plenty, and your words are kept exactly as you write them.

The Kettle Is Already On

Come as a guest first. Sit with the women who are already here, hear how a pairing begins, and decide over the second cup.
