Japanese flower arranging, also called Kado or Ikebana, can be practiced as a contemplative art. Like meditation, Kado teaches us to really look at and work with what is before us. In this episode, we will learn about creating flower arrangements and experiencing Kado as a creative and meditative dance with nature, space, and perception.
