Art of Ikebana

Discover the serene beauty of Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. Rooted in mindfulness, balance, and harmony with nature, Ikebana goes beyond decoration—it is a contemplative practice that honors life, space, and simplicity. In this guided, hands-on workshop, participants will explore minimalist design principles, intentional movement, and the relationship between form and emptiness.

Working with seasonal flowers and natural elements, participants will be invited to slow down, observe deeply, and create with presence rather than perfection. Suitable for beginners and those interested in floral design, Japanese culture, or meditative practices. Participants will leave with flowers and branches to continue practicing at home.
