NYZ: Found in the Flowers – An Ikebana Workshop
May 19 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$50.00 – $60.00
Commune with flowers and learn about the Japanese art of ikebana in this workshop. We will begin with a brief history overview of the art form, observe an ikebana demonstration illustrating basic principles and techniques, and then spend the majority of the time creating our own arrangements.
All supplies (scissors, vases, and flowers) are provided, and you will take your arrangements home with you.
This class is a perfect opportunity for anyone to start practicing the meditative art of ikebana and for Zen practitioners to learn a skill for altar care.
Fees for this workshop are $50 for members and $60 for non-members. Consider becoming a Supporting Member. Sangha members who volunteer to maintain Shobo-ji’s altar arrangements will receive a discount on the course fee. Contact office@newyorkzendo.org to inquire. ZSS Health Protocols apply.
About the Instructor:
