Contemplative Pottery Workshop with Sam Chatto

24th-26th MAY 2025

Chilham Castle warmly invites you to a contemplative pottery workshop with Sam Chatto.

Guided by Sam Chatto’s meditative approach to ceramics and the vibrational teachings of Chilham Castle, this experience invites you to slow down into presence—where creation begins not with effort, but with stillness.

Held within the timeless grounds of Chilham Castle, the journey begins with breathwork to clear the mind and attune the body. Through the elemental nature of clay and the stillness of breath, we return to the essence of being—to a place where movement arises from within. This workshop invites you to savour each gesture, to rest as awareness, and to remember that the most profound creations often emerge from silence, stillness, and simplicity.

Through breathwork, conscious presence, and intuitive creation, each movement becomes an act of reverence. Join us in this rare collaboration, where consciousness meets art, where the mundane reveals the mystical, and the ordinary becomes sacred.

This is a rare convergence of conscious creation, guided by the presence of two living lineages—one of clay, the other of consciousness.

This exclusive gathering commences on the afternoon of May 24th, as guests are welcomed with refreshments before settling into their accommodations. The evening unfolds with an intimate formal dinner, setting the tone for a tranquil and immersive stay.

The following morning begins with a thoughtfully prepared breakfast, followed by a guided breathwork session and an immersive pottery workshop with Sam Chatto. A seasonal luncheon will be served, leading into an exquisitely curated dinner to conclude the day.

On the final morning, guests will partake in a leisurely breakfast, providing a moment for reflection before departing at noon.

Throughout their stay, guests are invited to enjoy the estate’s amenities, including a cold plunge, sauna, swimming pool, tennis courts, and the tranquil gardens of Chilham Castle.
