March 18 Viola Floral X Althaea Rising: Bouquet & Spring Equinox Gathering
- Description
Join us for an intimate evening of flowers, reflection, and connection as we welcome the Spring Equinox – a moment of balance, renewal, and new beginnings. Together, we’ll slow down, create a bouquet with seasonal blooms, and gather in community to mark the shift into a lighter season.
What to expect:
- A Spring Equinox ritual to honor transition and intention
- Guided mini breathwork and meditation to ground and reset
- A bouquet to take home featuring the freshest blooms of the spring season
- Time to connect with a thoughtful, like-minded community – a space to share, be seen, and form meaningful connections
- An evening designed to feel nourishing, creative, and quietly transformative – rooted in beauty, presence, and the power of gathering.
Difficulty: All Levels Welcome
Location:
Viola Floral Studio: 916 Colorado Ave., Santa Monica
Please note that all workshops are non-refundable, but if something comes up, feel free to send a friend in your place — flower joy is always transferable. We’ll be starting promptly, so plan to arrive 15 minutes early to settle in, sip something refreshing, and get ready to bloom.
