Yesterday I spent the afternoon in circle weaving 🩷
and Yonke showed us how to forage for materials to create into cordage to weave into magickal artworks 🍃
This wasn't my first time weaving, but it had been far too long. I'd fallen back into that familiar pattern of telling myself I didn't have time or that there were more important things to do.
Yesterday reminded me why creativity isn't a luxury, it's nourishment.
Spending a cold, rainy winter's day gathered around the fire with other women, hands busy weaving, conversation flowing and time slowing down was just what I needed, a medicine in itself.
A gentle reminder for me that winter isn't asking me to do more. It's inviting me to soften, to create, to rest and to remember what fills me back up.
I've started weaving an oval-shaped something!! Truthfully, I have no idea what it will become, and I think that's my favourite part of the creative process. There was no plan or finished picture in my mind. Just the simple act of following curiosity, responding to the fibres in my hands and letting the piece reveal itself one stitch at a time 🩷
will be running another Winter circle and a Spring circle (located just outside of Ballarat). Follow her for more details
