Join us for an afternoon of Flower Arranging at Bonnington Cafe, Vauxhall.
Creative Play meets Mindfulness meets Nature Connection.
For anyone who is craving a gentle and slow experience, wanting to learn something creative you can make with your hands, discover a mindfulness practice you can enjoy for life, feel more embodied in your being and with Nature....This is for you! 🥰
MY APPROACH:
My workshops have been descrived as 'an exhale for the nervous system'. We take a slow, gentle pace. We'll start with a short, guided meditation to get you out of your head and arrive into your being/ the present moment. I'll do a demo arrangement talking you through the 'theory' and design process- and show you the process of making whimsical, unstructured flower arrangement. I also like to sprinkle in some tidbits here and there about how the flowers and this creative process teach us to approach life through a soft lens of wonder and find joy in the everyday. Perhaps there will be something unexpected but welcome for you :)
Using the flowers and materials provided, you will begin to create your own arrangements. In the process, you will practice getting creative through your intuition and senses (instead of your thinking mind). In this gentle act of co-creating with Nature, being present with the flowers, making something physically with your hands, and creating art in a playful way- my hope is that you find yourself in a meditative, joyful flow state and our 2.5 hours together will feel like a warm hug :)
THE LOGISTICS:
Saturday, 25th May
1-3:30pm
Bonnington Cafe & Community Centre, 11 Vauxhall Grove, London SW8 1TD
An abundant selection of seasonal flowers and all materials will be provided for you to use. You will learn to make a table centrepiece style flower arrangement in a ceramic bowl and take your creation home with you. You may arrive from 12:45pm onwards so we can start promptly at 1pm. Come with a friend/partner or treat yourself to a solo date (its the best). Enjoy the company of other wholesome, like minded people- the class size will be small.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
Hi I'm Gyan- an agent of Joy, a steward of Wonder :) Through my workshops and retreats, I help people deepen their capacity for joy and see how we can make a little more room for wonder and whimsy in our everyday life. My toolkit includes: Flower Arranging, Nature Altars, Cacao Ceremonies, Inner Voice, Authentic Movement and Photography. Sharing my energy and these gentle practices, I am simply inviting you to explore:
Is there a lighter, more playful way for me to exist?
Am I deeply delighted by who I am?
Do I feel connected to the aliveness of the world?
