🪡Free Weaving Circle🪡

Are you a Weaver with an established weaving practice and would love to Weave while enjoying the company of other Weavers?

Are you keen to learn to weave and would you like an opportunity to find out more about different types and styles of weaving?

We gather at Cherish, the Sanctuary in the heart of the city for this All Inclusive Weaving Circle.

This is open to Men and Women, newbies and established weavers of all nationalities and lineages.

I will be sharing my love of woven basketry from a Lineage of unbroken traditional wisdom gifted me from Elders in an Indigenous Australian tradition.

I have learnt to forage for weaving fibres and natural dyes using resources form the Australian land.

After moving to Christchurch I then applied these same principles to continue to develop my Basketry Artistry and deep connection to the land.

I have also studied Traditional Maori Basketry in NZ and now merge two indigenous traditions into my weaving practice and knowledge.

I will also to sharing my love of meditation and women's wisdom in this weaving circle.

Please note - There maybe some demonstrations and opportunities to ask questions, however this is not a teaching workshop.

I am so excitedly curious to open this offering up to all weavers to meet in a space of beauty and creativity.

Registration is Free and essential to help me keep in contact with everyone.

LoveLea❣️

Can I share with you a blossoming story weaving its way with All I Am?

I have been longing to find a place in Christchurch to sing devotional Kirtan and so we have been visiting various Kirtan groups in the city.❣️

There was the one that was too tame and I felt like I was back In church singing hymns. And then the one that was so rowdy and loud that it fried me.

Then we discovered Atmavidya's Monthly Kirtan it was delight filled with exquisite sounds of devotion.
I had found the place to soften and sing.☺️

I also quietly noticed her house was filled with baskets.

A kindred soul who weaves and sings!

I was so excited to return that I arrived a week early for the monthly Kirtan. I realised my mistake and quiet returned home before I embarrassed myself.

As we got to know each other she shared a dream she had, where she was in a Weaving Circle and she was shown how to start a basket.

And it is the exact same way I teach weaving! 💥

She had the dream the night I arrived a week early yet perfectly on time.

And so Atmavidya and I bring a

This moment where this basket found her new home was golden💛

She who sews and weaves was at a market selling lots of clothes and one basket.

She who wanted a birthday present for her best friend, saw the basket and knew that was the present she wanted to gift her.

She had a rose for her friend and the basket would carry the rose🌹

We basket lovers love to gift baskets 🎁

I have been introduced to KieKie lightly and politely.

I have played with weaving her as an experiment.

And then I met her deeply in her home soil on the West Coast, growing abundantly, prolifically, and in full splendor.

All I could do was gasp in delight to see this plant being growing so happily.

Slowly I began to build a relationship with her and to ask if I may weave a basket from her leaves.

She was delighted to be chosen.

The surprise💥
from the trip to Paparoa National Park and Punakaiki Rocks was meeting Weaving Fibres in the Wild. 🌿

The Zones of Foliage followed a pattern, wet rainforest and then closer to the ocean harakeke as far as the eye can see!

Robust, Flowering, bursting with insect and plant life 🪲.

It evoked full reverence for this treasure gifted to this land of Aotearoa🙏
