- Learn to whisk matcha using traditional tools and techniques under Mariko's expert guidance.
- Discover the timeless art of Ikebana, the Japanese practice of flower arranging that celebrates harmony, seasonality, and simplicity.

All flowers, tools, and materials are provided, and you'll take home your seasonal flowers.
