Inside Living Lirio

Rooted in slowness, presence & community

Living Lirio grew from my love of flowers, curiosity about how we live, and a desire to create spaces that feel calm, welcoming and genuinely restorative.

The world can feel chaotic and alarming. Living Lirio offers a place to pause, observe and create — softening the noise of the outside world and making room for curiosity and quiet joy.

— Maya, Founder Read Our Story
🌿

Seasonal & Slow

Everything we do follows the rhythm of the British countryside, attuned to what is growing and what is present.

✦

Connection & Healing

Creativity and nature together offer something profound — a return to ourselves, each other, and the living world.

🌸

Sustainably Sourced

Our blooms are grown with care, close to home and close to our hearts — seasonal, considered and connected to the land.

"The result of creating in nature is beautiful and visceral — you feel it through your body, everything falls into line and becomes uncomplicated."

More than flowers — a whole experience

As the year unfolds, our Seasonal Offerings will respond to the rhythms of nature and the changing landscape of the British countryside. Each season brings a different focus, shaped by what is growing, blooming, and inviting our attention.

Working closely with Flos Flower Farm, Maya and Beth Atkinson found a strong mutual connection in values. Alongside floral work, sessions include guided observation, nature walks, simple art and craft practices, and conversations with guest speakers whose work connects to wellbeing, creativity and seasonal living.

About Living Lirio

Hello, I'm Maya

Living Lirio grew from my love of flowers, curiosity about how we live, and a desire to create spaces that feel calm, welcoming and genuine. I believe in learning as we go, embracing imperfection, and finding joy in the tiniest, most fleeting seasonal moments.

Living Lirio exists to help people gently reconnect with nature, the earth and themselves. It's a wellness-led space shaped by flowers, the seasons and creativity — rooted in slowness, presence and community.

— Maya, Founder See Seasonal Offerings

What Living Lirio Stands For

A Place to Slow Down

The world around us can feel chaotic and alarming. Our senses are constantly pulled in different directions, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed or disconnected. Living Lirio offers a place to pause, observe and create.

Returning the Power of Flowers

With a background in luxury floristry, I've seen how far removed flowers can become from their roots — often treated as purely aesthetic. Living Lirio is about returning the power held by flowers and nature: helping us feel grounded and connected.

Open to All

Open to adults of all ages, from 18 to 80+, Living Lirio welcomes people to slow down, explore, learn from one another and create peaceful moments together. Community is at the heart of everything we do.

"I hope that Living Lirio will provide a place for joy, curiosity and celebration of the imperfect and impermanent."
Maya · Founder, Living Lirio
London · Brixton Studio

Mini-Escapes

A moment to breathe. To slow down. To reconnect with yourself, with friends, and with nature — right in the heart of the city.

What is a Mini-Escape?

A step away from the rapid
movement of life

Life moves fast. Our Mini-Escapes are a deliberate pause — an intimate, bespoke floral experience held in our Brixton studio, designed entirely around you. Whether you come alone, with friends, as a couple, or as a small group, each session is crafted to your needs, your taste, and your budget.

No experience needed. No judgement. Just flowers, presence, and the quiet pleasure of making something beautiful with your hands.

Holding all our values

Bespoke to you,
rooted in slowness

Mini-Escapes bring the Living Lirio ethos into the city. Every session is designed with the same care and intention as our farm workshops — guided by the seasons, led by curiosity, and shaped entirely around what feels right for you.

Using seasonal and thoughtfully sourced blooms, Maya will guide you gently through your chosen experience — whether that's an hour of quiet bouquet-making or a full evening of tablescaping followed by a meal at the table you've created.

All budgets are welcome and warmly accommodated. Get in touch and we'll find the version of this that's right for you.

  • ✦ Arrangement yours to take home
