Grief Weaving is a soft way to be with your grief. Grief comes in all forms and sizes and changes season to season but the weight of it can feel unbearable, especially in our death-phobic grief-avoidant society.
This half-day retreat is a space to be with your grief. To cultivate intuitive flow, quiet our minds and be in active meditation through our hands. To be in company with those who get it, without having to explain it in words.
Bring your sentimental fabrics, or cloths you’re ready to upcycle and we’ll transform the literal and figurative fibers of your grief into a woven rug — a testament to both your immense tangible grief, and your choice to seek aliveness.
Guided somatic and tactile meditations
Step-by-step weaving demos
All tools needed to make a round woven rug
Time for reflection and journaling
Teas + snacks
Weaving a rug to bring home or gift :)
Old clothes, sheets, fabrics, to transform into art
A journal
*Spaces are very limited*
This is a tender, intimate space to regulate the nervous system and honor all forms of grief—personal or collective, named or unnamed. All are welcome.
