Artist Kim Chin invites us into a reflective setting, to inspire a clearer understanding and vision of what “community” means to us. We do this by ‘visiting’ layers of ancestral, environmental and embodied home.
We will explore rituals, sharing readings and exchange thoughts while the group embroiders and collages onto fabric.
The intention of the workshop is to initiate a restorative sense of grounding and belonging. Through collective making we will activate a space of multi-vocal wisdom and hope that can be threaded into our daily lives after the event.
We will also share grounding and aftercare resources.
NOTE: We will be sharing reflections and our knowledge. Bring readings, definitions and objects to share with the group, on what “home” and community mean to you.
Materials and refreshments will be provided.
Free workshop. Sing up HERE!
