Ikebana at the Shambala center
I signed up for the ikebana class not knowing what to expect. Iris was leading the class

I love the simple look of it
Oddly a panorama of oddly sized nature; Flowers are too big for a natural setting.

Or this one very odd
So we begin

Which flowers to choose? And then place?

Starting to come together

What do you think?

Not flowers I would normally put together, but really enjoyed the meditation:
Place materials in front of keeping your eyes gently on them. Sit upright. Forget yourself and allow yourself to merge with the plants you’ll be working with. These plants become the one thought. Any separation between the person who is looking and that which is gazed upon ceases. YOU ARE IN INTIMATE CONNECTION WITH THE PLANT.
Wow! love that very useful, merging with plants to give you their healing quality. It feels oddly euphoric.
I have to say thank you, with a bow.

Making Rain
I had fun with a little experiment in the green classroom involving ice, two pans and the stove.
First I started water on to boil in which steam was called evaporation of water into the air.
I then put ice in a metal pie pan. I held the pan over the steam and drops form on the bottom of the pan. This is called condensation. Like on a window when it is cold outside. Slowly drops formed on the bottom of the pan and started to fall making rain!! This is called precipitation.
