EMBODIED WEAVING

Mindfulness, breath, movement and basket weaving workshop.

WEAVE: To make a complex story or pattern, from a number of interconnected elements.

This nourishing full day workshop will allow you the time and space to experience well being through movement, breath, creativity and connection to others. Most of our day will be immersed in learning the ancient art of bush basket weaving.

At a time where there is so much disconnection, these offerings will remind you to come back to your true Self, one that is centered and able to explore the inner and outer terrain of life with kindness, compassion and curiosity.

Join Yoga teachers and creative enthusiasts Jasmine Matus and Tracey Chappell as they share a series of breathing techniques, gentle movement practices, a 4-hour coil basket weaving workshop and a Yoga Nidra practice to interweave the story together.
