Kavahana’s Kava Nectar and ARTime BARRO, a pottery studio next door to our Santa Monica location, both represent practices deeply rooted in tradition and mindfulness. While one offers a sip of tranquility, the other molds peace through artistic expression. Here’s a closer look at how these age-old practices connect and enhance wellness.
The Origins and Benefits of Kava & Kava Nectar
Kava, a plant native to the Pacific Islands, has been used for centuries by indigenous cultures for its therapeutic properties, primarily to promote relaxation and social bonding. The active ingredients in kava, known as kavalactones, are thought to reduce anxiety, ease stress, and promote a clearer state of mind without impairing cognitive functions. At Kavahana, we’ve captured these benefits in our kava nectar, a beverage crafted to bring this ancient tradition to modern consumers looking for natural ways to unwind.

Pottery: An Ancient Art Form for Modern Wellness
Pottery, one of the oldest human art forms, dates back to as early as 29,000 BC. This craft originated out of necessity—first for creating functional items like pots and jars—and evolved into an expressive art form. Today, pottery is celebrated not just for its artistic expression but also for its therapeutic benefits. Engaging in pottery can be a meditative process, where the rhythmic motion of the wheel and the tactile nature of clay help center the mind and alleviate stress.
ARTime BARRO taps into this ancient craft’s calming power by offering workshops, classes, and memberships that allow people to learn and grow in their creative journeys while nurturing their mental and physical well-being.

Combining kava nectar’s calming benefits with pottery’s meditative practice creates a powerful synergy. Drinking kava nectar can enhance the pottery experience, making it even more relaxing and fulfilling. At Kavahana, we believe in the power of holistic wellness—where both what you consume and what you create play a crucial role. Similarly, ARTime BARRO supports this philosophy by integrating the practice of pottery with overall health and mindfulness.
