Begin your week with a mindful Sunday ritual - rooted in balance, movement, and quiet intention.
This four-week series explores a slower, more intentional approach to floral design through the ideas of line, balance, and negative space. Each session offers a contemporary, interpretive experience in a calm and intimate setting. Paired with a matcha latte from our very own matcha bar - a simple ritual of flowers, tea, and quiet creativity.
Perfect for solo participants or friends looking to share a restorative Sunday morning and gradually deepen their appreciation for this style of arrangement.
Our series is limited to 6 participants per session to maintain a relaxed, intimate experience.
