Adjustment for the “with corona” era

In the last three years, my ikebana class has been mainly online, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The silver lining is now I have students not only out of state but out of the country.
There is no comparison, however, to appreciate everybody’s arrangement in three dimensions.
Fran’s Chocolates in the Georgetown neighborhood in Seattle is where my ikebana class used to be held. And my in-person class will reopen next March! Fran’s reopened the retail part this year, and next year they are ready to host events in the café.
The full drink service is not back yet, and a mask is required during the class. We are not quite back to pre-pandemic life. Somebody said now we are living in an era “with corona.”
We, humans, are also part of nature. Just like COVID-19 virus, we should also adapt to new situations. In-person Ikebana class in the “with corona” era… I very much look forward to it!
