Accessing stillness is essential for a healthy, harmonious and balanced life. Ikebana is a simple activity done in silence and the effect on the individual is reflected in the flower arrangement.

How our introductory courses work

A tutor presents philosophical ideas, and leads a discussion based on what arises in the group. Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge and experience. Students are encouraged neither to accept nor reject the ideas put forward, but to test them in practice for themselves, in the light of their own experience.
