Slowing Down with Flowers: An Autumn Mindful Ikebana Workshop with Anjie Cho

Two sessions will be offered; sign up for either or both!

10:30am – 1:00pm

2:30pm – 5:00pm

Slow down and listen to the flowers.

In this seasonal ikebana workshop, we will explore the quiet poetry of autumn through the Japanese art of flower arrangement. 

As autumn begins and daily life grows busier, ikebana offers an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and return to center. Rooted in awareness, simplicity, and connection with nature, ikebana invites us to slow down and notice the subtle beauty of seasonal change.

Together, we will explore flower arranging as a contemplative mindfulness practice that cultivates presence, spaciousness, and harmony with the natural world. Designed for all skill levels, this workshop weaves together ikebana instruction with Buddhist and Taoist perspectives on impermanence, balance, and beauty.
