Unconditional Beauty – When Heart, Mind, and Eye Meet

An introductory weekend on Ikebana

The Japanese Art of Flower Arranging

Overview

Ikebana – the Japanese art of flower arranging – can convey emotions, tell a story, or spark a sense of wonder.

Join Tejumo Ogouma to discover and delve into the magic of Ikebana and what makes it a compelling art form. In the beautiful natural surroundings of Dorje Denma Ling, we will explore the intersection of meditation practice and creativity. Artists and non-artists are invited.
