What is Mindful Play?
Mindful Play is a guided mindfulness and pottery experience that brings together creativity, presence, and a sense of lightness.
In a world where we are often doing, thinking, and moving quickly, this is an invitation to pause and play! To work with your hands, to soften the mind, and to reconnect with a lighter, playful part of yourself.
No experience is needed. There is nothing to get right. This is a playground to explore, create, and be.

Create Your Own Natural Incense & Hand-Built Ceramic Incense Bowl
You’re invited to a sensory mindful-making experience to slow down, reconnect with yourself and feel grounded through making by hand.
Using natural, non-toxic ingredients, you’ll create your own incense blend and hand-build a ceramic bowl to hold it, bringing scent, clay and intention together in a ritual you can return to at home.

The Mindful Play Experience
You’re invited to step out of your usual rhythm and into something slower, creative, and intentional.
You’ll be guided through a heart-led mindfulness practice before moving into creating your own pottery cup, shaping, forming, and decorating with clay. You will let your hands lead, your mind soften, and to follow your own sense of curiosity and expression.
These creative sessions are designed to encourage presence, awareness, and a sense of flow. A chance to pause, reconnect, and dedicate this time entirely to yourself (we don’t do this enough!).
Your cup will then be taken away to be fired and glazed in the kiln, ready to be returned to you.
You can collect your piece at a later date, along with a delicious drink, at Roots Café.
If you’re unable to attend the collection, delivery can be arranged for an additional cost.
Mindful Play is a practice that brings mindfulness and creativity together, inviting you to return to yourself again and again.
While each gathering holds this shared intention, we explore different mindfulness practices and ceramic forms each time, from cups and mosaic tiles to sculptural pieces and dorodango, offering both continuity and creative variety as you tune into your own flow.
