Reception Thursday, February 20th at 2:00 P.M to 3:00 P.M. Free and open to the public Ikebana The Japanese art of flower arranging brings a unique beauty and mindfulness to floral decoration, emphasizing the harmonious relationship between flowers, containers, and their surrounding space. In contrast to Western floral arrangements, ikebana features carefully chosen seasonal flowers, branches, and leaves arranged in a way that reflects the natural growth of plants and the subtle shifts of the seasons. Each arrangement, or kado (“the way of flowers”), invites us to find tranquility through simplicity and balance. More than an art form, ikebana is a meditative practice where practitioners cultivate a deep connection to nature. Through the precise placement of each element, the artist creates a visual story that reflects nature’s elegance and the changing rhythm of life, inspiring inner peace and awareness.
