Weaving and Breathing.
A monthly online circle bringing together weaving, conscious connected breath and the simple act of gathering.
A space to step away from the noise, work with your hands, reconnect with your body and experience what can happen when we make, breathe and create together.
Weaving + Breathing grew from something I needed myself.
Through periods of grief, change and all the things life can throw at us, I found myself returning again and again to making with my hands.
Not as a way to escape what I was feeling, but as a way to be with it.
There is something about the repetitive nature of weaving that gives the mind somewhere to rest.
Hands busy. Mind quieter.
I could sit with sadness without needing to solve it. I could feel what was there without immediately needing to understand it. And slowly, stitch by stitch, there was space for things to move.
Breathwork has offered me something similar.
A way of moving beneath the constant thinking and into the body. A place where I can listen, feel, process and allow whatever is there to be there.
Weaving + Breathing brings these two practices together.
a way of being with what life brings..
Weaving + Breathing is a monthly online circle bringing together the rhythm of weaving, conscious connected breathwork and the simple experience of being with others.
Before we meet, you'll receive a recorded tutorial teaching you a simple coiled basket-weaving technique, so you can learn in your own time and arrive with your basket already begun.
We'll weave together while taking time to arrive, listen inward and set an intention for the breathe. As we move around the circle, you'll have the opportunity to share your intention while the rest of us continue to weave and listen.
You’ll be guided into a conscious connected breathwork session, allowing attention to move away from the external world and into the body.
When the breathe is complete, we’ll return to our baskets.
Weaving becomes part of the integration, something steady and tangible to return to while the experience settles.
As our hands begin moving again, we'll share our experiences and debrief the breath together , what came up, what we noticed, what shifted, or simply how we're feeling.
The weaving gives us something gentle to come back to as we talk, listen and allow the experience to settle.
Once we've shared, you're welcome to stay in circle for a while. Keep weaving. Have a cup of tea. Chat. Listen. Or simply enjoy being in the company of others while your hands keep moving.
Busy hands. Deep breath. Space to be held.
The repetitive rhythm of weaving is a beautiful way to bring us back into a relaxed state, while our hands are busy our minds can slow and settle, brining us into regulation.
Conscious connected breath invites us deeper out of the constant thinking and into the experience of the body.
For generations, women have gathered around handwork, weaving, stitching, making, talking, listening and sharing life alongside one another.
Its primal and something our bodies remember.
Weaving + Breathing is a space to slow down, feel what is here, and be held and witnessed in the company of other women.
What to expect….
BEFORE WE GATHER
You'll receive a simple recorded tutorial showing you how to begin your coiled basket, along with a materials list so you can learn and begin weaving in your own time.
WHEN WE MEET
We'll gather online once a month to weave, set our intentions and move through a guided conscious connected breathwork session together.
After the breath, we'll return to our baskets as we share and debrief our experience.
TIME TO LAND
Once our session has finished, you're welcome to stay in the circle.
Keep weaving, have a cup of tea, chat or simply enjoy the company.
A monthly circle to return to.
Weaving + Breathing will be offered as a monthly online gathering — a regular space to step away from everyday life, pick up your basket, breathe and gather with other women.
Come each month and allow the practice to become part of your rhythm, or join us when the timing feels right for you.
No previous weaving experience is needed. You'll receive everything you need to learn the technique before your first circle. No previous breathwork experience is needed either. Just bring yourself, your basket and a little space to breathe.
