Ikebana emphasizes natural beauty of flower materials including the stems and leaves as well as the shapes\, lines\, and forms. It expresses the beauty of flower materials using an asymmetric composition\, empty space\, and the principle of minimalism. Ikebana is also known as “kado” (華道) (the way of flowers)\, involving the spiritual practice of understanding nature\, tranquility\, harmony between all living things and oneself. \n Each workshop introduces you to a different style of flower arrangement. This workshop will cover Freestyle/自由花. Beginners are welcome. Workshops are held at the instructor's home in U-City (address and directions are emailed upon payment confirmation). Larger workshops are held in SSB 331 at UMSL. \n Prices include flowers.\n DTSTAMP:20200530T234741Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
