This activity is for transgender, gender diverse, nonbinary, and questioning people.

IMPORTANT: If you are registering after June 30th, you will need to provide your own rope for the session.

About the session:

Inspired after their voyages aboard old wooden sailing ships full of rum, chocolate, coffee and tea in the name of sustainable shipping.
Herb has created this somatic workshop.
Knots are practical and cathartic.
Pretty and handy.
Creative and repetitive.
Using our hands to ground ourselves and remain present.
For some people meditation can take dark turns letting our nervous systems heighten instead of settling.
Thus this workshop is all about storytelling and repetitive hand movements.
We will come together to share an ancient art form that can be used to secure your soul and your things.

What to expect:
In this hour-long session, you will be shown the options for using knot tying instead of meditation to remain present.

Materials will be provided, please ensure you provide your address so we can send your rope to you.

You can step out of the session at any time if needed.

About the facilitator:
Herb has sailed wooden sailing boats around Europe and across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. He is passionate about sharing stories so people can learn how accessible and magical this can be.
