Kokedama & Japanese Teas
A workshop
In this hands-on session, you'll make two kokedama to take home, ideal for hanging or displaying indoors.
join Lisa Duncan for a calming and creative workshop where you’ll learn the traditional Japanese art of moss ball planting. The morning will begin with shakyo meditation, a Japanese practice traditionally undertaken by monks, helping to calm the mind and settle the breath before we begin.
Lisa will guide you step-by-step through shaping the soil, wrapping the roots, and applying moss using authentic techniques, as well as how to care for your plants long-term. Alongside the planting, you’ll enjoy sampling a selection of Japanese teas, deepening the cultural and sensory experience.
This workshop offers a peaceful moment to slow down, connect with nature, and explore a beautiful Japanese tradition. You will take home two completed kokedama, along with the Japanese shakyo paper and a brush-style pen used during the meditation. All materials are provided—just bring an open mind and a sense of calm.
