Join Daniel Deephouse for a reflective talk on bonsai as both an ancient art form and a way of living more attentively.

Drawing from decades of practice, Daniel invites participants to slow down and consider what long-lived trees can teach us about patience, care, resilience, and change.

Through stories, visual examples, and gentle reflection, the talk offers a perspective on bonsai not as a decorative object, but as a living practice shaped over time.

Included with admission. No prior bonsai experience is required.
