A workshop in two movements. First we settle, then we make.
The morning opens with a guided sound meditation. Gong, bowls and breath do the slow work of settling you, loosening the grip of the day you arrived with and bringing you properly into the room.
Only then do we reach for the flowers. What follows is not a class in floristry technique. It is what your hands choose once your mind has stopped negotiating.
You lie down. Nothing is asked of you. Long waves of sound move through the room from the gong, the crystal and Himalayan bowls, the chimes. The body responds before the mind catches up.
Some people drift off entirely. Some stay wide awake and notice their shoulders drop for the first time in weeks. Both are the practice working.
No experience needed. You lie still and let it reach you.
A table of fresh stems, foliage, colour and texture. You are guided through the basics of how to build a shape and let it breathe, then left to follow whatever draws you.
There is no correct arrangement and nobody is marking yours. The only instruction is to notice what you reach for.
You leave with the bouquet you built.
First we ground. Then we create.
Sound meditation, then hands on floral creation.
Kept intentionally small so there is room to be met.
Flowers, foliage, tools and mats are all laid out for you.
Made by you, from a slower version of yourself.
You do not need to meditate. You do not need to know one flower from another. Come alone and leave having met people, or bring someone and share the quiet with them.
This workshop runs through the year in Dubai. Message us and we will share the upcoming dates, the location and how to hold your place.
