Coaching & Clay Workshops
Something changes when your hands are in clay.
Words are wonderful - but they're not always enough. When we're in the middle of a significant life transition, the kind of sense-making we need often can't happen through talking alone. It lives somewhere deeper: in the body, in image, in texture and form.
These workshops bring together psychological coaching and the grounding work of ceramics in a way that is - we think - genuinely unlike anything else available. They are creative, psychologically held, and deeply practical. You'll leave with more than a piece of clay.
Where we gather
These workshops are held at Brookside Eco Farm - a beautifully considered space in the Warwickshire countryside that lends itself to exactly this kind of work. There's something about being somewhere unhurried, surrounded by land, that helps the nervous system settle and the mind open.
Who I work with:
Pippa Prosser, Ceramicist
These workshops exist because of a conversation between a psychologist and a ceramicist who discovered they were, in different languages, doing the same thing.
Pippa Prosser is a skilled and generous artist whose work with clay is rooted in presence, attention, and the quiet intelligence of the hands. She guides the ceramic element of our days with warmth and expertise, holding space for people who have never touched clay before as readily as those who have. Her eye for the unexpected - for what a piece of clay is trying to become - is one of the gifts of these days.
Together, Erica and Pippa create workshops that move between reflection and making, between the personal and the physical, between insight and image.
These are not personal development days with glossy worksheets. They are honest, creative, grounded experiences that take you seriously. The clay won't judge you. Neither will we.
We work with small groups - up to ten - so that the space remains intimate, the conversations real, and the facilitation genuinely responsive to who is in the room.
