Like meditation, Ikebana teaches us to really look at, work with, and appreciate what is before us.

This half-day workshop is an opportunity for participants to create arrangements, practice, and learn together. The program also includes meditation, talks, and a reception to celebrate the day's creations.

Under the guidance of instructor Ellen Rook, students will create flower arrangements and experience Ikebana as a creative and meditative dance with nature, space, and perception.

Open to both beginning and experienced practitioners of ikebana, the day will include each person making an arrangement, and a second small group “freestyle” arrangement.
