Valentine's Flower Arrangement Workshop for Self-Love in Toronto

This flower workshop is designed for anyone single during Valentine's Day weekend who is navigating heartbreak, healing, and/or in need of self-love. Led by WhyWithCai and Nomadic Fiori, the evening blends flowers, reflection, and gentle connection, without any pressure or expectations.

Guests will take part in a flower workshop led by Nomadic Fiori, where you’ll create your own bouquet to take home. No prior experience is needed, just come as you are.

As you arrive, you’ll also be invited to explore Cai’s ongoing “Letters to Your Ex” installation (as seen at Nuit Blanche 2025), a collection of letters to exes written by people from around the world.

In this space, “ex” can mean anything you’re letting go of, such as an ex-partner, an old version of yourself, or even a past friendship. You’re welcome to simply walk through and read, or (only if you want to) write your own letter. You can then choose to keep it, shred it, or add it to the installation.

Throughout the evening, there will be optional icebreaker prompts available for those who want to connect with others.

Whether you come alone or with a friend, the goal is simple: to create something beautiful, practice self-love, and spend the night in community.
