Gentle group classes that move in rhythm with the turning seasons, inviting you to slow down, grow curious, and wander through your creativity. A space to arrive fully in the present moment—calm, relaxed, and quietly at ease.
With each seasonal gathering, we will honour flowers rich in meaning and symbolism. Each one deeply intertwined with the essence of the occasion, uncovering the folklore and ancient tales woven through these blooms. Reconnecting with Mother Nature and the quiet wisdom carried within every petal.
Classes are kept small with a maximum number of 4 attendees which creates an intimate and relaxed experience that allows me to give each individual guidance and support throughout the class.
Seasonal Gatherings
As the season turns and the days begin to soften, join us at Cahm for an intimate evening of ritual, reflection, creativity and connection.
30th September 6.30-8.30pm
Cahm at the Nuttery
Chapel Street, Ryarsh West Malling ME19 5LW
The Autumn Equinox is a moment of balance — a time when day and night meet, and traditionally, a time of harvest. A moment to gather the fruits of what we have nurtured, to pause and acknowledge what has come to fruition, and to gently consider what we wish to carry with us into the months ahead.
We invite you to slow down, nourish your soul and reconnect with yourself through an evening inspired by the beauty and abundance of autumn.
We’ll begin with a beautifully guided journaling ritual, offering space to reflect on the season behind you, celebrate what you have cultivated, and set meaningful intentions for the months to come. Your bespoke journal will be yours to keep, returning to these reflections whenever you need them.
Joanne will then guide you through the creation of your own seasonal table centre, using an abundant array of locally sourced flowers, foliage and autumnal ingredients inspired by the natural landscape around us.
Along the way, you’ll discover the stories, meanings and symbolism held within the flowers and ingredients you choose — exploring how each one captures something of the essence of the Autumn Equinox. You’ll also select crystals to place within your vase, chosen to complement and enhance the energies and intentions you wish to bring into your arrangement.
Your beautiful creation will be yours to take home at the end of the evening — a living reminder of the season, your intentions, and the time you gave yourself to pause.
And because no gathering is complete without something delicious to share, a generous grazing table will await you, filled with an array of homemade, seasonal treats and a refreshing seasonal soft drink to enjoy throughout the evening.
Come as you are, and leave feeling nourished, grounded and inspired — carrying a little piece of autumn home with you.
Your evening includes:
All materials needed to create your seasonal centrepiece
A bespoke journal for your reflections and intentions
Crystals to place within your vase
A beautiful selection of locally sourced, seasonal flowers & foliage
A delicious grazing table featuring homemade seasonal food
A seasonal soft drink to enjoy
A beautiful arrangement to take home with you
Come together this festive season to celebrate the beauty and abundance of winter, while exploring the deeper meaning and symbolism held within the humble winter wreath.
A wreath is a beautiful symbol of eternal life, resilience, hope and protection. Its endless circle speaks of continuity and connection, while the evergreen foliage reminds us that even through the darkest and coldest days, life endures.
As the days grow shorter and the world settles into winter’s slower rhythm, there is still so much beauty to savour.
This wreath-making class is an invitation to pause, breathe a little deeper and make space for creativity, gratitude and connection. Together, we’ll welcome winter’s return to stillness and celebrate the season in a way that feels nourishing and meaningful.
Working with seasonal and sustainable materials — lush evergreens, winter berries, dried botanicals and other natural treasures — you’ll create your own beautiful wreath, with a selection of gorgeous velvet ribbons to add your own personal touch.
But this experience is about more than simply making a wreath.
As you become curious and creative, I’ll invite you to gently turn your attention inwards too. What would you like to carry with you through the winter season? What might you like to release, nurture or make space for?
Inspired by the symbolism of the wreath and the natural world, you’ll receive your own bespoke journal, thoughtfully created to guide you through moments of reflection and intention-setting as you create. Take some time to pause, reflect and write, perhaps with a festive tipple and a mince pie or two along the way.
Classes are kept small and intimate, creating space to step away from the pace of everyday life, connect with nature and others, and reconnect with yourself. No previous floristry or creative experience is needed — simply come as you are and allow yourself to be guided.
You’ll leave with your own beautiful festive wreath, created with your hands and your heart, ready to bring a little of the spirit and magic of Christmas into your home.
All materials are included, along with your seasonal journal, a festive tipple and mince pie to enjoy while you create.
