Beltane Nature Connection & Ikebana Workshop – 1st of May 2026

Dr Kamila Kwasniewska, plant scientist and botanist, certified forest bathing guide and ikebana practitioner, works towards connecting people with nature through five pathways: senses, emotion, beauty, meaning and compassion.

 

Tree on a bright day with blue skyBy participating in the Beltane Nature Connection Workshop, you will learn new ways to tune into nature on an emotional level and deepen your relationship with the natural world.

This workshop will explore our deep connection with nature through the sensory experience of forest bathing. We’ll discover how nature enriches our lives, restores balance, and inspires creativity. Participants will channel this creative energy by creating a seasonal ikebana arrangement, celebrating the spirit of Beltane and the arrival of early summer.

Reviews from previous workshops:

Jennifer R.
This was a wonderful experience of mindfulness in nature and with flowers - in an amazing 'secret' location in Dublin - Kamila created a very thoughtful and well-planned day - highly recommended.

Anna K.
It was an amazing and peaceful experience, and the host was lovely and very kind. I really enjoyed every single minute. I want to try this again. The Autumn Pumpkin Flower arrangement was also really fun and therapeutic.

I did a forest bathing workshop with Kamila last week. She made our little group feel immediately welcome bringing us her own herbal tea and vegan treats! It was wonderful to take some time to reconnect with nature and with our own inner nature. In our chaotic fractured world, a day with Kamila brings peace and harmony. I’ll be back!
