TIGER BLOSSOM PRACTICUM
Creativity and nature as a way of coming home.
a living practice of listening, expression, and growth.
A three-month immersion, the next step for those who felt something compelling in a workshop and want a place for that to continue and deepen.
Twelve classes. Three stages of practice. A container you can return to, season after season.
WHO THIS IS FOR
FOR THOSE DRAWN TO NATURE, ART, AND MEANING.
Tiger Blossom Practicum is for those who feel pulled toward nature, beauty, creativity and meaning but aren’t sure how to make space for them in everyday life. And it is for people who want to develop a deeper relationship with themselves through creative practice and nature.
This is for you if
You want depth over noise.
You desire to remember what has always been in you.
You want to reconnect with the Earth and your own sense of agency.
You’ve experienced Tiger Blossom and felt something shift and you want a place for that to continue.
A note from Aiyana
founder & guide
The Tiger Blossom Practicum is an expression of what I have been wanting to do from the very beginning and born from a need I saw while actually teaching workshops.
In every workshop I watched people arrive carrying stress, responsibility, grief, uncertainty, and exhaustion. They would spend an hour with flowers, branches, water, and contemplation, and something so sweet would happen. They would soften. They would slow down. They would remember themselves and breathe.
What I discovered is that so many people are longing for connection and growth.
Connection to nature.
Connection to creativity.
Connection to themselves.
The challenge is that there is limitation in a single workshop. Growth and true learning happens through practice.
The Practicum was created to offer that deeper practice.
A place where participants can develop a creative practice, explore seasonal living, and cultivate a deeper relationship with themselves over time and personal expression in their daily lives.
— Aiyana
WHAT THIS IS
a three-month journey through three stages of practice.
Each stage builds on the one before like a spiral deepening.
MONTH ONE Listening
The foundation. You, along with the botanic materials, learning to slow down and attune your attention. Introductory arrangements and the practice of presence before anything else.
MONTH TWOExpression
From listening comes the capacity to express. Larger arrangements, more materials, more compositional complexity. You begin to translate what you hear inside into what express outside.
MONTH THREEOut of the Box
With expression as your ground, you start to notice the boxes, the identities you've inherited and the ones you've placed on yourself. Through creative play and risk, you are rooted in your journey home to you.
At the close of the Practicum, students are invited to create a completion exhibition representing their journey, shared online or presented at an in-person gathering.
This is structured progression. You move through it at the same pace as your cohort. The practice deepens. So do you.
You do not need to be an artist. You do not need experience with ikebana. You only need curiosity and a willingness to show up for yourself.
YOURS TO KEEP
The Tiger blossom practicum set comes with every enrollment.
Every Practicum student, online and in-person, receives a set of three exclusive Tiger Blossom vessels, one for each level, along with two kenzan and the Tiger Blossom journal. It’s yours to keep, and to arrange in for years beyond the Practicum.
Your vessel set ships to you before Month One begins. You’re responsible for sourcing your own botanical materials.

THE PHILOSOPHY
TIGER BLOSSOM IS THE JOURNEY HOME.
HOME TO YOURSELF. HOME TO THE EARTH.

At the heart of Tiger Blossom is the practice of presence.
