Private Sessions
A completely tailored, private creative immersion for two - perfect for intimate milestone celebrations, luxury gifting, or a serene creative escape.
Curated as an exclusive creative experience to share together, or to gift as a celebration for two.
A completely tailored, private creative immersion crafted exclusively for two. Perfect for luxury gifting, intimate milestone celebrations, or a serene creative escape, this exclusive session offers dedicated, one-to-one mentorship with Tara.
Moving entirely at your own pace in our tranquil, private sanctuary, you will discover the foundational philosophies, structural lines, and asymmetrical geometric principles of the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. Together, you will work with premium, hand-selected seasonal materials to compose your own striking, minimalist living sculptures.
Both participants leave with their custom-crafted seasonal floral compositions. Open to all levels and beginners welcome.
What Sets Our Ikebana Workshops Apart
01 / Mindful Ikebana Philosophy
Our sessions go far beyond standard flower arranging. Under Tara’s gentle guidance, you will explore the ancient heritage of the Sogetsu School, learning to use the principles of Ma (empty space) and sculptural asymmetry to turn seasonal branches, flowers, botanical material into living architectural art.
02 / Seasonal Curation
Our practice centres on expressive, natural materials allowing each creator’s piece to reflect true Sogetsu artistry. We source and select seasonal flowers and plant material, wild characterful branches for their natural form and shape. You will work with sculptural elements chosen specifically to inspire your own unique design instincts.
03 / Intimate Studio Space
To preserve a peaceful, authentic 'zen' environment, our cohorts are strictly limited to small, intimate groups. This guarantees you dedicated, personal mentorship from Tara. An elegant oasis with ample space to create at your own pace, offering a deeply restorative escape from the every day bustle.
