Weaving the Lineage | A Basket Weaving Experience

Are you Basket Curious? How about Ancestor Curious? Well this is your workshop.

WEAVING THE LINEAGE | A Basket Weaving Experience

This is not your average basket weaving workshop! This is a guided journey that taps you into the collective wisdom of the master weavers in your lineage, awakening the embodied wisdom inherited from generations before you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We’ll begin with a guided meditation journey to connect with your ancestors, inviting their wisdom into your hands and into the basket you’ll create.From there, you’ll learn the basic fundamentals of basket weaving, working with reed fibers and learning how to create a basket from start to finish.No previous basket weaving experience is necessary. All levels are welcome.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

Your very own handmade basket!You’ll also leave with an ancestral practice that reconnects you with your indigeneity and offers another way to connect with the wisdom, creativity, and traditions held within your lineage.

WHAT TO BRING

Bring a water bottle, lunch and/or snacks for yourself. And if you feel so inclined bring some snacks to share. Some snacks will be provided, but a complete meal will not be served.

Optional: Bring pictures of baskets from your ancestral homelands for inspiration and connection.
