Our Wishlist.

Daruma is still a new studio, and is powered by a very small team. As we get up and running, support from the studio community is so welcome.

If you would like to make a donation to buy something specific – or have any pre-loved items that may be of use to us – our studio wishlist is below, but all donations are welcome.

Use the friends and family option and write ‘donation’ in the notes, or contact us if you want to use a different method.

Please also let us know in the notes if you would/would not like your name to be mentioned publicly to say thank you.

Pre-loved Items

If you have pre-loved items in good condition you would like to donate to the studio, please email hello [at] daruma [.] berlin, with any information you can share about the item, or potential drop-off to the studio.

We are seeking:

Soft items:

  • Blankets

  • Rugs or carpets to make sitting on the floor more cosy

  • Floor cushions

Studio space:

  • A small or medium-size gong

Furniture

  • Sofas or comfy chairs

  • A table and/or folding table

  • Chairs (suitable for a desk or dining table)

New Items

If you are able to donate to help us purchase something for the space, we are currently seeking:

  • Meditation cushions: We want to help our guests to be comfy sitting on the floor during workshops, particularly those who struggle with their knees and hips. At wholesale cost these are 14.20€ each – our eventual goal is to purchase 20 (for a total of 284€). (We reached our goal, thank you!)

  • Meditation Mats: We want to help our guests to be comfy sitting on the floor during workshops, particularly those who struggle with their knees and hips. At wholesale cost these are 24.90€ each. Our eventual goal is to purchase 20 (for a total of 498€).

  • OR Thicker Tying Mats: These are similar to meditation mats, but much larger (200x100cm). They are 110€ each, and we’d like to get 10-12 of them from 1100€-1320€

  • Strong, load rated, synthetic rope – we would like to replace all of the ropes on our suspension points and hashira. Our goal for this is 300€. (We reached our goal, thank you!)

  • Blankets: We all need to be kept warm and cosy after rope – help us get some aftercare blankets for the studio for around 15€ each (our eventual goal is to purchase 20!)
