Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, has its origins in Shinto, where arrangements were made as shrine offerings. At the Shambhala Meditation Centre, ikebana is taught as a contemplative meditation practice. By creating an environment which allows us to pay attention to our sense perceptions in a non-aggressive way, ikebana is a way of connecting with sacred world. Ikebana is taught regularly at the Shambhala Meditation Centre. See our program listings for upcoming classes. Other Contemplative Arts and Disciplines The Shambhala Meditation Centre occasionally offers or hosts programs in other contemplative arts and disciplines, such as, qigong, Maitri Space Awareness, yoga, Restorative Circles, and Non-Violent Communication.
