Princess or punk rocker? Brainiac or fashionista? Women are more than girly or gritty, soft or strong. Soft is strong and strong is soft. This one-day women-only workshop explores this dynamic through Ikebana (flower arranging) and traditional Japanese weapons training.

Discover the hidden power of petals pristinely arranged. Marvel at the softness driving a strong sword stroke. Revel in your own newfound sense of soft strength (or strong softness). Take these newfound qualities and skills into your business meetings, parenting, and personal relationships.

"Full tuition" scholarships are available thanks to a Lodgers' Tax Arts and Culture Grant from the City of Durango and the Creative Economy Commission.

Women and women-identifying individuals are welcome! Pre-registration is required.
