Let clay show you the way



3.5 hours

Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 4 to 6
  $111 (Afterpay available)

Is the clay calling you? This 3.5-hour Clayfulness journey invites you reconnect with your body and inner wisdom through somatic claywork and symbolic reflection. This therapeutic session is held in a small group, providing an intimate space enriched by shared experience, meaningful connections, and co-created insight.
We begin with a hands-on C.L.A.Y. meditation, guiding you through four stages of somatic relaxation and embodied mindfulness.
C – Calming
L – Loosening
A – Aligning
Y – Yielding
This guided sequence helps settle your nervous system, deepen your awareness and enhance your somatic intuition. From this relaxed and receptive space, you're invited to shape the clay intuitively, creating abstract or figural forms that emerge organically through your hands. No sculpting experience is needed, just an openness to explore and to trust the creative flow.
You’ll be guided to engage with your clay creation through a psychodynamic process that involves active imagination and journaling. We close the session by reflecting on the symbolic meaning of your piece to support insight and integration.
What you'll get
  • relaxation and nervous system regulation
  • connection with your somatic intuition and inner wisdom
  • herbal tea and cacao treats
Knowledge required
No prior experience with clay or meditation is required, just an openness to explore and to trust your somatic intuition.
What to bring
It’s recommended that you wear clothes you don’t mind getting clay on, or bring an apron if you prefer.
