Ikebana, the ancient art of placing flowers.

Long Meadow Hall, Headcorn Village Hall   TN27 9NR

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.

Looking at the finished work serves as a reminder to others. Come along, have a simple lunch at 12.30pm for a vegetarian buffet, be given instructions at 1.45pm. and finish at 4pm..

£15 include lunch or £12 just for the meeting.

Practical Philosophy Course

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.
