Mindful Maki

Mindful Maki creates slow, meaningful food experiences designed to help people reconnect - with themselves and with each other.

Blending mindful attention with the craft of sushi making, Mindful Maki events are centred around cooking together at a relaxed pace, sharing conversation, and enjoying food as a way of connecting.

Founded by a psychologist with a long-standing love for Japanese food and culture, Mindful Maki was created to offer an alternative to rushed dinners and surface-level catch-ups — replacing them with hands-on, intentional moments that feel warm, human, and memorable.

Events are welcoming, thoughtfully designed, and suitable for people with no prior experience in sushi making or mindfulness.
