Weaving is Healing Tannum Sands

by with No Comment

This is a opportunity to join René Bahloo from Weavery, to sit and weave together in circle. It’s much more than a skill-building, tuition-based workshop; it is a space where wisdom is shared, experienced and breathed together as the workshop unfolds itself, wrapped with the fibre of life as well as the fibre of nature, and deep human connection.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn and share, and celebrate our humanness and fibre together, as we weave ourselves together in loving connection.

You will learn to create a single strand loop-and-twine basket/dilly/pouch with traditional pandanus fibre from Arnhem Land (and other local fibres) while immersing yourself in deep connection to story, land, nature and to life.

10.30am till 3.30 pm. $120 pp

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.

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 something savoury to share for lunch.

Tickets can be booked online or by emailing to organise a direct deposit / cash. (direct deposit bypasses the eventbrite fee).

On the 16th April, we will learn the meditative coil weaving 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. We are invited into a space of conscious creation, whilst honouring both the individual and the group dynamic. Trauma informed, please let me know by private communication if you would like your circumstances to be known, and gently held.

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.

We will use hand dyed raffia, with dyes from nature: colours sourced in the traditional Indigenous lands of Northern Australia, as well as other local fibres.

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.

April 16 – Raffia fibre – coiling technique (using a needle). R1100 (R200 extra if you would like to use rare pandanus fibre).

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

Tickets can be booked online (plus booking fee). Alternatively, a bank deposit can be done, by arrangement.

More information about your facilitator and the intercultural work she does, can be found at www.weavery.com.au.
