We will create a beautiful medicine pot by weaving with pandanus spiralus (a unique premium weaving fibre from Arnhem Land) in a coiling technique.
The workshop will be facilitated through means of a ceremonial space where you will be nurtured and held safely in a circle of like-minded beings, sharing and breathing and creating together. Trauma informed, please let me know by private communication if you would like your circumstances to be known, and gently held.
Beginners are celebrated.
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.
Extra pandanus fibre will be available to buy on the day, if needed for future weaving projects or expansion of your current one.
Please bring a chair, cushion or mat to sit on, and lunch to share.

Weaving is Healing Retreat to K'Gari Frazer Island 21-25 October 2022
2022-10-21 10:00 - 2022-10-25 17:00 | K’Gari, Frazer Island, Australia
A journey like no other! Five days of weaving with natural fibres, in the company of like-minded women. Five days – adventure, fibre spotting, dingo whispering, creek dipping and trekking to remote and pristine sites. Me, René Bahloo of Weavery at the helm, in my beloved Beasty Babe the troopie-mobile. Laughter, irreverence and joy… and silence, as we dive deep into the stillness of being, together. Meditative and contemplative practices of inner noticing, teamed with nature as teacher at her finest, to encourage and support healing, while being deeply nurtured in circle with others. And time for yourself, to settle back into your core truth.
Yes, sounds great Rene, but what weaving will we learn?
We will use special pandanus fibre from Arnhem Land to weave a larger piece (basket or sculpture) not possible during a one-day workshop.
We will learn two techniques which we can incorporate into the one piece.
We will investigate the local flora as we traverse the island together, and I will identify the fibres available for use as weaving materials. Of course we will leave them in their local space while we use what I have brought onto the island myself (honouring the island’s heritage).
I will bring along some natural dye plant matter for my dye pots and we will have great fun dyeing undyed fibre, which we can also use in our baskets if we so choose.
Thanks. And how else will we spend our time on K’gari?
Well, this is really cool. We will go adventuring in Beasty Babe, to the lakes and ocean creeks that make Frazer Island K’Gari so exceptional. Yes, swimming if the weather is appropriate (bring your floaties, folks!) Shipwreck-spotting, whales and dolphins too, who knows what we might notice. But our adventuring does not stop with the external experience, we go deep within, too. We will spend time in counsel together, in sharing, circle time. We spend time in nature, with invitations to eco-therapy exercises and practices that can open up a way for our deep communication with our soul-selves, within the natural world, in peaceful yet growthful solitude. But remember, as much as there are juicy and deep treats in store for you (more than I can write here) you have ultimate say about how you choose to spend your time. Just sitting on the beach, weaving. Always weaving. Wind tickling your hair, sun caressing your face. Sound good?
Sweet. So, what kind of accommodation have you got planned for us?
We have secured space in a really cool eco-style accommodation, with a big shared bunker room for all participants. There is a camp kitchen for any cooking needs as well as being within walking distance to a restaurant and resort with all the frills. We will provide for breakfasts and two dinner meals.
If anyone wants their extra snazzy-style own room, at their own cost, I am happy to enquire as to what’s available. Keep in mind, the more notice, the better your chances of getting it, though!
How big will the group be?
Spots will be kept to a minimum. This means that I have place for six humans on this adventure as we carve our way into the flow of a slower way of being, gently allowing the experience of present moment awareness, to unfold in grace, together.
If this feels good to you, please make contact.
What else to bring? You!!! An open heart, swimmers (remember floaties for Eli creek) and a pair of binoculars maybe. A camera! Not much internet reception on the island though, so your phone’s social media posts will be on hold.
A willingness to learn and have fun. A curiosity about life, and what else is possible in this amazing experience of aliveness.
October 21-25 2022, Frazer Island (K’Gari). Includes the ferry trip both ways: we leave from Rainbow Beach where you can leave your vehicle. Pickups on the Sunshine Coast can be arranged.
$990 per person, secured through a non-refundable (transferable) deposit of $300, or payment in full. Final payment due one calendar month before the trip starts.

Weaving is Healing Retreat Adventure Rainbow Beach Feb 2023
2022-12-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Rainbow beach, tba, QLD, Australia
Five days of weaving with natural fibres, in the company of like-minded women. Five days – adventure, soul whispering, beach driving, creek dipping, fibre spotting and trekking in paradise. René Bahloo of Weavery at the helm, in her trusty 4×4, Beasty Babe the troopcarrier.
Laughter, irreverence and joy… and silence, diving deep into the stillness of being, together. Meditative and contemplative practices of inner noticing, teamed with nature at her finest, to encourage and support healing while being deeply nurtured in circle with others. And time for self, to settle back into the grounded foundation of core truth.
What weaving will you learn?
You will learn to use lomandra and prepared pandanus (harvested, split, boiled and dyed) to weave a larger piece in a two-strand twisting technique native to Rene’s motherland, South Africa. The universal practice of string-making will also be shared, and there will be opportunity to learn a coiling technique.
We will discover and identify a variety of local flora, as weaving fibres, while traversing the land together.
How else will you spend your time?
Adventuring in Beasty Babe, beachside and bushside, with your weaving in hand. Yes, swimming is on the cards, if the weather is appropriate (bring your floaties, folks!). Sunday is a day off, where you are offered free time to sink deeper into yourself at your own pace. On this day there is the option to traverse the channel on the ferry for island time, with your hostess. This is not part of the retreat but is offered at no extra cost if you choose to be company.
There will also be time to experiment with eco-printing using leaves, flowers and roots in a well-brewed black dye pot, on white or light coloured fabric (bring your own). Adventuring does not remain with this external experience. It can be a deep-dive within, as time is spent in counsel together, sharing in circle. You will be invited to engage with focused intention, in nature. This can be through eco-therapy exercises and practices that can open up a way for deep communication with your soul-self, within the natural world, in peaceful yet growthful solitude. As much as there are juicy and deep treats in store for you (more than I can write here) you have ultimate say about how you choose to spend your time. Just sitting on the beach, weaving, if that’s what your soul seeks. Wind tickling your hair, sun caressing your face.
Sound good?
Sweet. So, what kind of accommodation is planned?
A holiday house in Rainbow Beach, a few minutes from the ocean, with varying room options, and a pool. Kitchen, lounge and deck, nature outlook. Room options are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The accommodation payment serves as a booking fee, and will secure your spot on the retreat. It is non-refundable. The remaining contribution cost is payable by the 24th January 2023.
It’s a partly catered experience: three evening meals will be provided so we can eat together, but you will need to provide your own breakfasts and lunches. One evening we will go out for dinner, together, locally (at your own cost).
Price for retreat (single) is $965.
How big will the group be?
There is place for a maximum of seven humans. This lends to a great group dynamic as we carve our way into the flow of a slower way of being, gently noticing and allowing the experience of present moment awareness to unfold. This is a together-walk, an intimate immersion into the weave of life and fibre, for healing and soul-tending.
Come with me, as we walk ourselves along this magnificent path.
If this feels good, please make contact. It is anticipated that spots will fill fast. Your contribution to the costs of the experience will secure your place on this expedition.
What else to bring?
An open heart, swimmers (for healing waters, and the swimming pool).
A white shirt or pillowslip to ecoprint in the black dye pot.
A willingness to learn and have fun. A curiosity about life, and what else is possible in this amazing experience of aliveness.
Minimum numbers apply.

2023-01-21 10:00 - 2023-01-22 17:00 | Weavery HQ, 324 Wilson rd, Ilkley, Queensland, 4554, Australia
In this weekend, we will create a beautiful medicine piece by weaving with cordyline and/or pandanus spiralus (a unique premium weaving fibre from Arnhem Land) in a twining technique, including stringmaking. I will also teach you how to make a coiled lid for your basket (or you can make a separate coiled basketling if you prefer). We will also play with my natural plant dyes, dyebaths and ironwater to make leaf- and fibre prints inbetween the weaving process.
It’s best to attend both days as they build on each other, however, single day options will be available for those who cannot make both days.
Day 1 is for the twist weave technique only, and ends at 3pm. For all other participants, the day ends at 5pm. We will wrap our dye plants into the cloth.
Day 2 begins with a coiling technique instruction, and making string. We will boil the eco-print bundles in the dye pots, and unwrap them to see our masterpieces.
The workshop will be facilitated through means of a ceremonial space where you will be nurtured and held safely in a circle of like-minded beings, sharing and breathing and creating together. Trauma informed, please let me know by private communication if you would like your circumstances to be known, and gently held.

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.
Extra pandanus fibre will be available to buy on the day, if needed for future weaving projects or expansion of your current one.
Please bring a chair, cushion or mat to sit on, and lunch to share.

There is also the option (for additional fee) to use pandanus spiralus, a premium and delicate yet strong and waxy fibre found only in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. This fibre is sourced by René Bahloo, your facilitator, who nurtures intimate ties to the people and culture of Arnhem Land, and regularly travels there for reconnection to her adopted First Nations aboriginal family and to facilitate cultural tours with weavers and healers of that magnificent place.

Please bring a low chair, cushion or blanket to sit on, and vegetarian savoury lunch to share.
