Indulge in an afternoon of mindfulness and meditative flower-arranging at Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk Ikebana workshop.

Hosted in partnership with renowned Ikebana professor Tomoko Sempo Yanagi, ten lucky consumers will have the perfect opportunity to find a creative outlook on the New Year and decade and an all-important chance to reconnect with the beauty of to nature while escaping the stress that everyday life can bring.

As a chairwoman of the longest-standing Ikebana school based in Japan, Tomoko will use her 20 years of expertise to lead and support guests throughout this alternative flower-arranging workshop of Ikebana, a practice highly regarded as a source of self-care and wellness in its native country.

Moving away from the tendency to mindlessly place flowers in vases, this beautiful form of Japanese flower art focuses on the symbolism and seasonality of each bloom to create strikingly beautiful, minimalistic and sculptural arrangements.

Specialised Ikebana florists will be on hand to support guests with their practice and offer advice on how to balance the shapes and length of each arrangement to achieve true Ikebana style.

Mindfulness will form the key component during the workshop, with guests encouraged to admire the beauty, shape, textures and colours of each individual flower of the arrangement.

All consumers will take home their creation to take pride of place and add a floral touch of Japan to their homes.
