EXPERIENCES

Meditative Pottery

Enjoy a mindful experience shaping and understanding the earth of Bhaktapur.

Immerse yourself with the earth of Bhaktapur, shaping it into pots and cups that serve the daily lives of the local community. This is an experience that harkens bygone eras, when life was slow and sustainable, based on its surrounding nature. Take your time to knead the clay and give it a shape by a spinning wheel. This mindful, hands-on journey will be guided by a local artisan whose generations have spent their life around the same courtyard, shaping the Newari civilization of Nepal.

Duration: Two to three hours
