Connection Without Pressure
Hands busy → conversation flows naturally.

Studio up to 12. Mobile is ideal 20–40 and we're comfortable up to 50.
Shortest is 3–4 days if we have space. Best is 7–10 days. Holidays book early.

Yes — terrarium and calmer formats are great for mornings.

We don't focus on food in-studio due to space, but we can discuss options for mobile venues.
No. The workshop is the event — there is no meal built in, so there is nothing to certify and nobody to accommodate separately: kosher, halal, vegetarian, Jain, allergy-sensitive, fasting, and alcohol-free teammates simply join in. Plenty of teams add their own refreshments afterward; it is always optional, never required. See our inclusive team events page for the full rundown.
