Upcoming Experiences

Leave feeling more ease, calm, and grounding in your body. Anticipate space for individual and shared reflection.

Each participant will have the opportunity to make 1-2 pinch pots which will then be dried, fired, glazed and ready for pickup within 2-4 weeks to serve as an ongoing reminder of ritual and reflection.

No experience necessary. Ages 16+. Space limited to 10 participants.
