Workshop Overview
Immerse yourself and your team in a soothing, hands-on experience as you discover the art of creating beautiful Japanese Kokedama—a unique style of bonsai where a plant’s roots are wrapped in a lush, living ball of moss, forming a natural, sculptural display. Guided by our Founder, Stefan Thomas, you’ll explore the rich history and cultural roots of this traditional Japanese practice. Each participant will leave with their own handcrafted moss Kokedama and a renewed sense of mindfulness to bring back to the workplace.
Why host a kokedama workshop?
A Kokedama workshop provides lasting benefits for your team’s wellbeing and workplace environment. Crafting these elegant moss ball plants promotes mindfulness and relaxation, helping to reduce stress and support mental clarity. Their natural, low-maintenance design makes them perfect for brightening up workspaces while also subtly improving air quality. As a shared experience, the workshop strengthens team connections and encourages collaboration in a calm, inspiring setting. Rooted in Japanese tradition and built on sustainable practices, Kokedama also introduces your team to a more eco-conscious mindset—making it an enriching and meaningful addition to any corporate wellbeing program.
