Kalapa Ikebana

Kalapa Ikebana is a contemplative form of Japanese flower arranging (ikebana) founded by Chögyam Trungpa in 1982, blending traditional Sogetsu school techniques with Tibetan Buddhist mindfulness, viewing flower arrangement as a meditative path to connect heaven, earth, and humanity, focusing on the experience rather than just the final product. It emphasizes the spiritual journey of creation, using minimalist principles like the three core elements of Ikebana (Heaven, Earth, Human) within a contemplative framework.
