Why mindfulness?

Put simply, mindfulness is the practice of being present. Many of us find it difficult to be present amid stress, discomfort, and endless distractions. A mindfulness practice can help us realign mind with body and deepen our self-awareness and self-compassion, alleviating unnecessary distress.

Why knitting?

Knitting involves repetitive micro-movements, which elicit a sense of stillness in the mind while calming our nervous system. As a result, we enter a meditative state that brings forth the restorative elements of relaxation, contentment, and compassionate awareness.

"Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either." ~ Elizabeth Zimmermann

In this workshop, the facilitator will combine knitting and guided meditation to support participants in connecting with their inner worlds and in taking pause amidst their hectic schedules.

Participants will be expected to have beginner knitting skills and to bring their own knitting projects (no supplies or knitting skill instruction will be provided). Participants will receive a digital zine with helpful information and supportive resources on the topic of mindful knitting.
