Sew much fun?

SEW MUCH FUN is an introduction session to a 12 week transformational journey called Sowing From Your Heart. This session is an opportunity for women to come together to sew, sow and create. I am providing a safe space for meaningful conversations to unfold to create new possibilities and openings for action. Using the terminology of sewing and the creation of a cushion cover, we will be unpicking an area of your life that you would like to make adjustments to and transform. And we will looking at patterns of behaviour and ways of communication that may need pinning down in order for a shift to take place. This session is a mini version of the 12 week intense journey combining the art of sewing with various holistic energy healing practices, touching base with nature and in person and online 121 /group coaching sessions, to bring about profound changes in your life. Join us for a fun afternoon and meet new people, and discover something new. It's going to be SEW MUCH FUN!

DID YOU KNOW

The art of sewing is at least 20,000 years old. Ancient peoples joined pieces of material using bone and horn needles and animal sinew for thread. Around the 14th century iron needles were invented, and by the 15th century there were eyed needles. Later sewing needles were made of steel, as they still are today. In the 1800s the first practical sewing machine appeared, and today most sewing is done by machine, though some sewers still choose to perform fine sewing and finishing by hand. Sewing has been passed down in my family linage from my Great Grand Father who was a Nigerian Chief Tailor, through to my mother.

Sewing is a form of self-care and a natural anti-depressant. When you do something pleasurable, like sew, your brain releases a chemical called dopamine and gets you in the “Flow”. You may be thinking that you have to craft intensely; creating new patterns or learning something brand new to reap the benefits of sewing, but that’s not the case. When you’re doing something that’s more ‘mindless’ like repetitive stitching, you are peaceful and in the present moment (not harping on thoughts of the past or future) – and that is what it means to be ‘in the flow’. According to Psychology Today, ‘flow’ is a cognitive state where one is completely immersed in an activity. It involves intense focus, creative engagement, and the loss of awareness of the self.
