President's Message

The history of Ikebana goes back more than 500 years but for me it started in my early childhood when I used to sit and watch my mother as she arranged flowers. I used to marvel at how ordinary flowers were transformed within her fingers to pieces of inspiring art. Since that time I have come to view Ikebana as an inseparable part of my life, an art form that is practiced with love and enthusiasm. It is with these sentiments that I hope to keep the Ikebana Jordan Chapter focused on its pure origins, a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing bringing nature and humanity together. My mission is to strengthen the ties among the three current schools in Jordan and welcome other interested Ikebana schools. I look forward to a pleasurable and rewarding two years of service.
