What our students are saying: 

• Carolina, Frankfurt: “My Ikebana practices with you are pure bliss and each class is growth and zen moments that I value so much.”
• Lia, Ohio: “Over the winter I took some time to deepen my ikebana practice. For me, it’s a perfect exercise in mindfulness and savoring the seasons. The lessons from @flowerclubint were just right. Can’t recommend Julia’s course enough if you’re interested! They’ve also got one off Zoom workshops if you’re in the mood for just a quick peek. It was also so satisfying to be able to use some of my self made ceramic vessels – looking forward to more of that in the future”
