Absolutely. Pause is designed to meet you where you are. We've welcomed complete beginners who've never held a bouquet, as well as seasoned professionals with 15 years' experience — and both leave transformed.

Just yourself and a notebook. All florals, vessels, mechanics, aprons, and equipment are provided. We also supply all meals and refreshments throughout the three days. Your secateurs will be adorned with a personalised leather tag — a little Pause tradition.

Accommodation is not included, but Laborie Wine Estate and the surrounding Paarl area have beautiful options to suit all budgets. We're happy to share our recommendations when you book.

We keep groups intentionally small — a maximum of 18 students per workshop. This is non-negotiable for us. It means individual attention, real connection, and the kind of intimacy that makes the experience transformative.

Seats are unfortunately not transferable between dates. Please choose your date carefully — we're happy to chat through which would suit you best.

Laborie is a beautiful historic wine estate in Paarl, Western Cape — about 60km from Cape Town. It's a 45-minute drive from Cape Town International Airport, situated at the foot of Paarl Mountain.

Full details are shared in the course information document sent upon enquiry. As seats are strictly limited, we do have a firm cancellation policy — which we're always happy to walk you through before you commit.

Yes — we offer a payment plan to make booking easier. A deposit secures your seat, with the balance due before the workshop begins. Full details shared on enquiry.
