Experimental healing through blindfolded pottery sessions in Berlin's sculpting workshops
Thuli Wolf, a trained physician and art therapist, has been offering blindfolded clay sculpting workshops since 2022. These unique sessions, designed to promote psychological and physical well-being, are now available at Falckensteinstr. 46, Kreuzberg.
Participants engage in a meditative journey while working with clay, blindfolded, which helps them connect deeply with their inner selves. By eliminating visual distractions, these workshops create a safe and tranquil environment for emotional exploration and self-expression.
Wolf believes that psychological and physical well-being significantly influence each other. By leveraging the tactile and sensory experiences of working with clay, these workshops help reduce stress, foster psychological balance, and promote relaxation. Working with clay is said to release happiness hormones, further enhancing the therapeutic benefits.
The workshops are structured to make participants fully dependent on their hands, eliminating the temptation to compare their work with others. This approach encourages mindfulness and presence, allowing participants to focus on their creations without the pressure of external judgement.
Participants are guided through a series of meditations and clay sculpting exercises during the workshop. Towards the end, they are invited to discuss their blind experience and thoughts while sculpting, providing an opportunity for reflection and self-awareness.
No previous experience or materials are required to take part in the workshops. Upcoming sessions are scheduled for Nov 24 and Dec 13, from 18-20:30. To sign up for these workshops, visit thuliwolf.com.
These workshops aim to provide a sense of liberation similar to that experienced at home. They are offered at specific dates and times, as indicated on the website. Participants are encouraged to register in advance to secure their spot.
Join Thuli Wolf at the Evolve Festival in Berlin for a special session, the "Blindfolded Clay Healing Journey." This workshop, led by Wolf, takes place at the festival and typically involves guided meditation alongside clay sculpting with eyes covered. For example, the 2025 Evolve Festival scheduled a session for Friday at 2:00 PM led by Thuli Wolf. Participation details, including dates and times, are available on the festival's official program pages, where registration or ticket purchase is usually required.
In summary, the therapeutic benefits of these workshops arise from combining guided meditation, the creative and sensory engagement of clay sculpting, and the removal of visual distractions to foster emotional and psychological well-being, while physical benefits include calming the nervous system through focused, mindful activity. Whether you're looking for a unique artistic experience or a path to emotional healing, these blindfolded clay sculpting workshops offer a fascinating and transformative journey.
