Brisbane Medicine Pot weave October
October 25, 2020 @ 10:30 am - 3:30 pm
$100Event Navigation
WHAT: Using Lomandra Longifolia fibre straight from the land, we will create a two-stand twist-woven medicine pot. This will be a ceremonial sacred space where you will be nurtured and held safely in a circle of like-minded souls, sharing and breathing and creating together. I will also introduce some embodiment practices/nervous system regulation skills for navigating challenging times, like breathing, visualisation and soul-to-cell toning, workshop circle. Beginners celebrated. Trauma informed.
This is an opportunity to experience the ancient art of basket weaving as a deeply mindful and contemplative practice. It is a space of sharing, creating, being and breathing, conducted through ceremony and celebration of life. Using natural materials from the land, you will learn to weave individual strands of fibre together to form a whole creation, while recognising and acknowledging the mirrors and metaphors that bind us together with nature and each other. Like a weave within a weave, this has the power of revealing a way of being that is nurturing, growthful, enlightening and honouring of the energy of creation. Together we will weave baskets that hold in their fibres all of the stories we share, flowing in symphony with the songs of nature as they unfold around and within us. Please bring snacks to share, and a chair, blanket or cushion to sit on. We will be on the grass under a huge fig tree. Please be considerate of current COVID restrictions on proximity and personal hygiene.
Optional premium pandanus (a different fibre to what we will be using) is available to buy at an extra cost, if needed. See ticket info for details.
Please bring a chair, cushion or mat to sit on, in respect of current COVID recommendations.
