Crave Workshops

We’re excited to be partnering with eBay (our number one client!) for the sixth consecutive year. 💛

Since our first workshop together in 2021, we’ve had the privilege of creating multiple experiences for eBay teams, and we’re excited to return for our sixth year together.

This July, we’ll be hosting a special edition of our Grounded in Texture workshop for 90 participants, including 13 virtual attendees who will be receiving kits shipped directly to their homes. Teaching one live event at EBay HQ and one virtual event to make both of them personal.

What makes this event especially exciting is that we’ve developed a brand-new version of the experience inspired by the colors I love most in nature. While we’ll still be exploring texture, layering, and tactile materials, we’re adding a palette of warm earth tones inspired by the desert—clay, sand, ochre, stone, and sunbaked landscapes.

Right now, supplies have been ordered, kits are being packed, and there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to bring this large-scale experience to life. It’s going to be an epic experience, and I can’t wait to see what everyone creates.

Thank you, eBay, for your continued trust and partnership. Six years later, it still feels incredibly special.

5 Ways the Grounded in Texture Experience Supports Mental Well-Being

1. Slows Down a Busy Mind
Working with natural textures invites participants to focus on the present moment, creating a calming, meditative experience that helps reduce stress and mental overwhelm.

2. Engages the Senses
Touching, arranging, and exploring different materials activates the senses, helping participants feel more grounded and connected to their surroundings.

3. Encourages Creative Expression
There is no right or wrong way to create. Participants are free to experiment, make intuitive choices, and express themselves without judgment or pressure.

4. Builds Connection and Community
Creating alongside others fosters conversation, collaboration, and shared experiences, helping strengthen relationships and a sense of belonging.

5. Creates a Lasting Reminder to Pause
The finished piece serves as a visual reminder of the time spent slowing down, being present, and reconnecting with creativity and self-care.

Grounded in Texture invites participants to cultivate curiosity, engage their senses, and discover the restorative power of making something with their hands.

We recently brought our Grounded in Texture experience to the team at ⁠ in Los Angeles.

Designed to support well-being through creativity, this hands-on workshop invited participants to slow down, engage their senses, and reconnect with the present moment through the simple act of making. Working with natural textures and materials, the team explored creativity as a tool for mindfulness, self-expression, and connection.

Why we love this experience:
• Helps reduce stress and quiet a busy mind
• Encourages sensory exploration and grounding
• Creates space for creative expression without judgment
• Fosters connection and conversation
• Leaves participants with a lasting reminder to pause and practice self-care

A wonderful afternoon of mindful making, texture, and creativity with the Ritual team. Thank you for having us! 💚
