Workshops

"Weaving is healing" workshops are much more than skill-building fibre art classes. They are nurturing, trauma-informed, spaces where we heal together through the power of the weave, facilitated by weaver, healer and circle holder René Bahloo.

Welcome to the Weaving is Healing self-care and connection group!Come join us at Weavery HQ for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. This event is all about taking time for yourself, connecting with others, and finding peace through the art of weaving. This group is fot those who have already had some experience weaving, to bring your project and continue to connect and craft with a conscious group of souls, with healing and grounding practices facilitated by René Bahloo (me). You are welcome to bring another craft to practice if you do not weave yet, or you can buy a DIY kit and tuition video recording from me to get you going before you come, as there will be no tuition on the day. It is anticipated that everybody helps everybody, so if you forget a part of your weaving technique, you can always ask your neighbour to be reminded.Let the soothing rhythm of the heart and the weave help you unwind and destress. Share stories, laughter, and create beautiful woven pieces together. Take this opportunity to focus on self-care and building connections in a supportive and creative environment, while learning self-regulation and nervous system de-activatioon skills in a fun, gentle yet engaging manner. I can't wait to weave with you!Extra fibre can be purchased on the day, if needed.Booking is essential.
