Join facilitators Andrea Wlodarczyk, Hailey Smith, and Amie Pilgrim for an engaging lunchtime pottery experience where you'll get to carve and hand-paint your own small ceramic pot. Each pot will be hand thrown in advance and ready for your personal touch. After the session, the pieces will be clear glazed, kiln-fired, and returned for you to enjoy and display. All attempts will be made to ensure each pot survives the firing process, though natural variations in temperature can sometimes cause breakage — a gentle reminder that creativity is as much about the process as the outcome!

This in-person session encourages relaxation, creativity, and connection — a perfect way to pause and recharge during Thrive Week. Spots are limited, so register early to secure your place.

Come and learn more from the work that Dr. Eun-Young Lee has done on advancing inclusion and mental health through outdoor play. The 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play redefines play as a shared human experience essential to individual and planetary wellbeing.

This project celebrates a decade’s worth of global evidence on active outdoor play and includes an exploration of the relationships between active outdoor play and climate change, nature and the environment, education and learning, community and human connection, movement behaviours, health and wellbeing, and finally human rights and policy. Amongst the themes explored, the Statement also includes robust recommendations for international action across sectors, such as how play can foster a lifelong sense of environmental responsibility and care.
