Many of us have picked up new hobbies or are revisiting old ones during this time of novel challenges. In this offering we will explore methods on creating your own space for knitting, embodying your craft and the mental health benefits of this beloved tradition. If you are just getting started or if you are a seasoned knitter this offering aims to provide new insight into the way you create while focusing on methods of self care and embodied practice. Materials needed: journal or notebook, knitting needles and yarn.
In this time of uncertainty, stress, and trauma, the ability to regulate and to connect with others is more important than ever. Whether it is breathing, moving, drawing, writing, or some other soothing activity, we challenge ourselves and we challenge you to create the time and space to regulate and to do so in the virtual company of others.
Practitioners, teachers, and providers locally and nationally have volunteered their time and their labor to lead our community in a variety of virtual practices, workshops, and classes, free of charge.
