Marcia Shibata
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
In 1974, Marcia Shibata became a student of the Buddhist Way and Kado Way with Chogyum Trungpa. She went to Asia to study the discipline as it had survived to date in Japan in 1980 and remained there until 1985. She endeavored to understand and teach how Kado Ikebana practice could be a portal to innate wisdom mind through the diligent practice of forms, meditation practice, and studying of the laws of nature through the Buddhist/Taoist view and by observing and studying nature directly.
MS Shibata has taught Ikebana supported by meditation practice from 1985 to the present day both in the US and Europe. In 2003, she was given permission to open a fresh school of Ikebana in which the laws of Dharma are revealed through the consecration and blessings of the son of Chogyum Trungpa, Jamgon Trinley Mipham. Since this time the School has flourished, recently settling in Prague, CZ Republic as its first official physical location.
