Here’s how we *do* wellness:

Sleeves up.

Music on.

Hands dirty.

And breathe…

At Recess Living, busy minds meet busy hands. With 1 in 5 workers taking time off due to stress, rest is more important than ever.

Our science-backed approach uses pottery, marbling, journaling and more, to help you and your teams find art in the unexpected. Moments of play to bring stillness and growth, guided from start to finish.
