Make a mini zen garden!

A mini zen garden is a healing method that anyone can easily do. Place a stone on a tray or plate and draw a line on the sand to create your own Mini Zen Garden. Practicing this will help you find inner peace. Mini Zen Garden healing is a space where you can reflect on yourself.

You can choose to purchase a Zen Garden kit to take home when you book.

About Zen Garden
Zen Garden is a type of Japanese garden that does not use water; it is unique to Japan that expresses natural scenery such as mountains and rivers with stones and sand. In Japan, it is called KARESANSUI.Karesansui is not about splendid scenery, but a calming space. Therefore, it is still used as a place for meditation.

Jun moved from Tokyo, Japan to Sydney, Australia in the mid 80', but it was much later until he fell in love with the art of Kinstugi in the mid 2010's where he returned to Japan to pursue more knowledge in the art of Kinstugi.

Since 2015 he has learnt the art from five different masters of the art in Japan. He has now come back to Sydney Australia to teach everyone of all ages wishing to learn and develop their skills in Kinstugi.

He founded Kintsugi Australia in 2018 to spread the knowledge and beauty of kintsugi to Aussies and the world.
