Weaving is Healing Two-day workshop Brisbane Part 2
Advertisement
A two-day basketry workshop, ceremony and healing experience, also available for single day attendance. Random weave and string bag making.
The two sessions in Parr 2 comprise of a random weave with palm inflorescence and a string technique basket making workshop. They are available as single day workshops but are best done together, and are perfect for beginners as well as advanced weavers.
Please note that this is not an Indigenous workshop or a technique indigenous to Australia, but a workshop that embraces creativity, ceremony as well as community to promote healing processes in an organic and soulful manner.
This is a opportunity to join René Bahloo from Weavery, to sit and weave together in circle. It's much more than a skill-building, tuition-based workshop; it is a space where wisdom is shared, experienced and breathed together as the workshop unfolds itself, wrapped with the fibre of life as well as the fibre of nature, and deep human connection.
You will learn to create a basket with your choice of pandanus spiralus fibre, (a strong, waxy and colourful fibre sourced ethically from weavers in Arnhem Land), local fibres, as well as raffia and cordyline, while immersing in deep connection to story, land, nature and to life.
10.30am till 3.30 pm. $120 pp. per day and $220 for both days.
The workshop will be facilitated through means of a ceremonial space where you will be nurtured and held safely in a circle of like-minded beings, sharing and breathing and creating together.
This is an opportunity to experience the ancient art of basket weaving as a deeply mindful and contemplative practice. It is a space of sharing, creating, being and breathing, conducted through ceremony and celebration of life. Using natural materials from the land, you will learn to weave individual strands of fibre together to form a whole creation, while recognising and acknowledging the mirrors and metaphors that bind us together with nature and each other.
Like a weave within a weave, this has the power of revealing a way of being that is nurturing, growthful, enlightening and honouring of the energy of creation. Together we will weave baskets that hold in their fibres all of the stories we share, flowing in symphony with the songs of nature as they unfold around and within us.
All materials will be provided. Special pandanus fibre will be available to buy on the day, if needed for future weaving projects or expansion of a current one, but will not be used in these workshops.
Please bring a chair, cushion or mat to sit on, and something savoury to share for lunch.
Tickets can be booked online or by emailing to organise a direct deposit / cash. (direct deposit bypasses the eventbrite fee).
