Find your place in the practice
If you’re new to Sogetsu, begin with Book 1. If you’ve studied before, contact hello@whenstill.com so we can confirm where to continue.
A rhythm of learning
Watch the lesson, work with your own materials, and share your arrangement through three photographs and a short reflection. Personal written feedback follows within three business days.
