women coming back to their traditional practices is indeed weaving so much healing in the world. in remembrance to these sacred, simple spaces of gathering and communion with the land. how we have always been weavers of magic, tending to the hearths and nourishing our communities. it is beautiful to see this being reawakened more and more <3
I have memories of my mom and her friends crafting together when I was young. I think they then sold what they made at craft fairs or for school fundraising - I can’t remember (I’ll have to ask her!)
When I had a gardening company, I’d have my gardeners gather and craft/decorate holiday wreaths we’d then give to our clients as tokens of thanks. We’d sip tea, coffee and cocoa and nibble on cookies as we worked, raising our creations to another asking , “what do you think”?
There is something really special and uniting about this gathering and crafting in a small group -

Beautiful memories! Women in a circle working with their hands creating something beautiful is more powerful than any of us realize.
The Millionth Circle in another creative expression!
Yes, it's been going on a looong time.
