Sogetsu Ikebana Workshops provide a space for meditative creativity, inviting participants to form an instinctive, sensory connection with the materials. By working with both plants and unconventional materials in an experimental way, they attune to texture, form, movement, and even the subtle sounds these materials make. Participants practice presence, imagination, and awareness through this tactile experience, turning Ikebana into an engaging, expressive dialogue between themselves and materials.

Ikebana invites participants to slow down and connect — with their materials, with their creative selves, and with each others. Through self-expression and mutual inspiration, they create Ikebana arrangements that are both personal and collectively shared.
