2.00pm
A second session for you to continue your ceramics project or start a new one.
5.00pm
A guided lying down meditation led by Barnaby. Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) is a state of deep rest that is distinct from actual sleep. It is a type of restorative rest that allows the body to recuperate and rejuvenate without necessarily entering the sleep state. As we use up a lot of energy in the creative process, NSDR beautifully completes the Flow Cycle
5.30pm Finish
Feeling inspired and relaxed
As a CIC and Social Enterprise, it is our intention to make Dalston Clay a studio that is available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstance. While we need to function as a business, we never want money to be the reason why someone can't benefit from what we've built. If you truly can't afford the full cost of our offerings, we invite you to contact us to discuss your situation and we will endeavour to sort something out.
