Your team, but

Cool, calm, collective

“Closing emails in 3, 2, 1” 


It’s time to help your team really switch off.  Close all those tabs, move that meeting, and whatever you do, resist your inbox! When frantic times call for gentle measures, “do” wellness, the joyful way. Creative corporate craft workshops that grow your business.

Happy, healthy people make happy, healthy businesses


But you know that. The thing is, with a world that moves a million miles an hour, more of us are feeling a little off balance. The daily struggles of our personal and working lives are quickly blurring. Thik burnout, low motivation, dwindling productivity and fractured communication.

The result: unhealthy company culture.

Enter “Meditation For Doers”, the Recess Living approach to mental health management. A scientific take on mind, body and soul care.

Daily stressors can trap our nervous system in "Fight or Flight" mode, leading to anxiety, burnout, and reduced productivity.  

Harnessing the power of art therapy techniques, our workshops are carefully designed to invite stillness and inspire play to help calm the amygdala and shift the nervous system to "Rest and Digest"

We lead your team on a journey of self-discovery through mindfulness, reducing stress and burnout while creating space for increased creativity, healthy productivity, and lasting connection. Sleeves rolled up, music on, and tons of joy

AKA the important stuff you need to know:

  • The facts:

    • FTSE 100 companies that prioritise employee engagement and wellbeing outperform the rest of the FTSE 100 by 10 per cent

    • Loneliness costs UK employers £2.5 billion a year. How? Poor mental health can increase absence due to illness, reduce workplace productivity, and skyrocket staff turnover.

    • 1 in 4 workers feel unable to manage their daily pressures at work. The World Health Organisation now characterises burnout as an “occupational phenomenon.”

  • Of course! Wellbeing isn’t a destination, it’s an active state in constant flux that needs daily care and attention. Aside from your usual solo work perks and subscriptions, a creative wellness workshop helps your team flourish, together. You can host with us as a one-off, or talk to us about an ongoing bespoke plan, designed to integrate into your existing program, whatever your team’s needs.

  • Yes. We’re all about making space at the table, for everyone. All backgrounds, lifestyles, workstyles, and skillsets welcome. It’s what our company stands for. 

    We come to you. Office, offsite, at-home… just say where! We believe in making “the wellness industry” more inclusive, and that means making our creative experiences accessible to all needs. If your team members work from home, we’ll send all the equipment to them. (Currently, Europe only.)

  • Glad you asked, because at Recess Living when it comes to wellbeing, we mean business. Real Results. Real impact. Real-time. Here are some of our results so far
