Brisbane Weavery basketmaking workshop and sharing circle

by with No Comment

Weave a dilly bag or sculptural piece with palm inflorescence. You will take home so much more than what you expected – connection, calm, groundedness and new friends! Experience the healing, nurturing and centering forces that emerge as you weave with awareness, intention and mindfulness. Rene will facilitate a journey through the creative energy of the universe using plants that are all around you – you will never look at your natural environment in the same way again! Beginners welcome. Please bring a lunch dish to share with the group, for extra culinary connection.

Weaving and mindfulness retreat Bribie Island

by with No Comment

Spend a weekend inmmersed in the practice of basketry – take time out to share, connect, open, expand, learn, express, reflect – all the things we do in a weaving circle, that we might not take time to do for ourselves at home.

Discover the profound healing that occurs as we weave our hearts inside to out, in a safe and nurturing space, in community, together.

Practice mindfulness, take walks on the beach, learn fibre knowledge and how to apply it in your life.

Connect to nature, to yourself.

This retreat will be fun and engaing, but also allow time for self reflection and space to just ‘be’.

It is fully catered (vegetarian) and includes in-house accommodation. Materials are included, no previous experience necessary. You dont even need to think you are creative!

Space is limited so get in now – treat yourself. Grow yourself. Honour yourself.

See you there…

An A-Z of weaving plant fibres

by with 4 Comments An A-Z of weaving plant fibres

Plant fibres are amazing things, especially when you can use them to weave! So I have decided to go on a journey to discover which of these particular fibres grow in our gardens around the Sunshine Coast. The local Sunshine Coast Council has come to the party too, by granting me a RADF grant to complete the project…yay!!!
What will follow here is an outcome of this project – a blog about plants I’ve encountered in my search for weaving fibres… an A-Z of suitable (and possibly not too suitable fibres) as I pull, twist, shred and coil my way around the coast. As I commune with nature and uncover her weaving secrets… keep tuned…. A is on its way!!!
