Susan Tova — Altar Flower Arranging

with Susan Tova

day-sit

One-day in-person workshop with Susan Tova on altar flower arranging at Santa Barbara Zen Center. Participants create an arrangement using provided plants and materials, exploring color, shape, and the life cycle of flowers.

About this retreat

This is a community workshop, not a meditation retreat. It's a chance to work with flowers as a focused practice — arranging them for an altar while attending to balance, color, and the natural stages of blooming and decay. Susan Tova leads the session; the center provides plants and materials.

The center has not yet published pricing, a schedule, or other practical details. Contact Santa Barbara Zen Center directly for registration, cost, and what time the workshop runs.
