Increasingly popular, particularly since the start of the pandemic, manual and creative activities in the form of workshops have enjoyed great success. And we understand why ! Practicing a manual activity allows us to slow down the pace of our thoughts, to focus on the present moment and can also be very rewarding. Want to get started? Here are 5 Brussels workshops that we highly recommend if you want to have an experience similar to our I make my ring workshops.
