Kado, the Way of Flowers: Winter Session
Time: Saturday mornings 10:30-12:30, ***Except for the first class on February 11th, which will be 10am to Noon.
Place: Boulder Shambhala Center
The practice of ikebana or the path of flowers is a beautiful practice and contemplative path.
It teaches us that everyone has the instinct and courage for artistic expression.
Skill develops with curiosity, receptivity, guidance from a trained instructor, and practice.
Learn basic patterns of harmony and develop mindfulness in working with branches, flowers, water, space, intuition, and elegance.
Classes cover the basics of ikebana from how to cut a stem to how to place plant materials in a container.
There are also contemplations, readings and exercises on perception to allow for reflection and appreciation while new perspectives and creativity flourish.
Class is always open for each student at their own pace, exploring varied materials, themes and the Sogetsu Ikebana curriculum.
There are both beginners and more experienced students in the classes.
