🪡 Learn how embroidery can be a tactile self soothing tool for anxiety, ADHD, or general well-being! 📅 Saturday, April 11th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
🌷 Megan Burke explains the "why" behind specific stitches you will learn as you create the perfect texture for self-soothing tactile input. Students learn about proprioception, pairing physical movement & tactile input with grounding breaths to practice self-regulation and ground in support of mental health. While learning how to create a self-soothing texture, students find comfort and peace in the workshop themselves. The action of embroidery requires both hands and eyes of each participant which simultaneously soothes the mind through repetitive tractile action and prompts open conversation by taking away the pressure of eye contact. This creates a low-stakes environment for open conversation and connection while teaching students a skill that will serve them in their careers in design.
🧵Join us to create a tactile soothing article of clothing for you or someone you care about!
