In folklore and ancient texts, one often finds references to the enigmatic nature of craft. When we engage in creation with our hands, there's a soul-deep recollection of gentler ways of existence, pulling us from the cerebral narratives we've learned and immersing us into the heart's domain, where we can express the words our souls long to utter. This is what renders craft and creation profoundly nurturing at any stage of life; through our hands, we can channel everything.
For those who join me in a space of creation, there's invariably a release and decomposition of old tales, coupled with the rediscovery of a long-forgotten thread that begins to unravel and interlace anew. It is from these realms, inhabited by both the visible and the invisible, that we commence the interweaving of our new narratives into the fabric of all existence.
The artifacts you craft in our shared time will not only serve as potent talismans or instruments to rekindle your dialogue with your soul but will also become a chronicle for you to revisit repeatedly, a space for you to grow into.
These individual Ceremony and Creation Days aim to facilitate a reconnection with yourself. Our day will begin in ceremony woven with rituals and heritage crafts steeped in rich folklore, and infused with a heartfelt blend of Animism and Folk magic. This sacred synergy grants us access to the unseen, fostering ample opportunities to broaden our dialogues and modes of existence, which are, in essence, a reawakening of our intrinsic rights. There is sorcery in craftsmanship, in the transference through our hands, and thus, within these days, we can concentrate on particular aspects that would offer support in the present moment.
This may include:
Grief Tending - creating spaces to honor of grief and weaving grief vessels.
Death - In these day-long sessions, we can create ceremonies for various types of losses, from the end of relationships and medical miscarriages to the passing of loved ones whom you may wish to honor more deeply.
