Group members get access to both focused clay instruction and thoughtful and reflective group therapy each week. Our therapy sessions cover a broad range of topics, but our Core Goal is always to help people:

1. Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

2. Increase the frequency and quality of experiences of mindfulness, contentment, and self-energy.

3. Develop positive coping skills to help them live the life they want inside the studio and out in their everyday lives.

4. Build Self-Awareness, Self-Compassion & Inward Empathy, and Self-Energy.

Centering Sessions strives to create a thriving community of learners in every community studio it calls home. We pride ourselves on creating a therapeutic learning environment that

1. Builds member self-confidence.

2. Encourages interpersonal growth.

3. Provides a haven of safety and comfort within which group members can work towards healing unresolved interpersonal wounds.

4. Emphasizes community and connection.

All Centering Sessions experiences include focused clay instruction with an experienced veteran of the ceramic arts each week, tailored to help group members

1. Find their unique artistic voice.

2. Learn and improve technical skills (throwing / handbuilding / decoration / glazing)

3. Learn how to leverage skills learned to enhance self-expression and connect inner experiences of thought, feeling, and fantasy to outer self-expression.
