Weaving as Meditation - Freestyle Loom Weaving for Beginners

Experience the peacefulness of freestyle loom weaving in this hands on workshop. Learn basic weaving and knotting techniques, then curiosity and creativity will shape the weaving. This is a spacious, process focussed workshop where you immerse yourself in the rhythm of under and over, where the colours, textures and character of the yarns bring calm. Weave circular, square or rectangular, there is no having to “get it right” meditative weaving centres flow, slowing down and settling into rhythm for mindfulness.

You will take home a small weaving project such as a wall hanging or mug rug.

All materials supplied, as well as a simple afternoon tea (vegan & GF catered for).

Wellbeing benefits of weaving:

• Diverse, colourful, multi-textural yarns soothe, calm and ground.

• Creates space for slowing down

• Embodiment of holding gently, experiencing tension, releasing.

• Weaving encourages rhythmic movements, which may aid in regulating the nervous system.

• Social connection.

Optional Reflection: Life is an ever-evolving weaving; we all have threads of stories within us and have ongoing autonomy as authors of our story.
