Calm Stitching: Gentle Goals & the Nervous System



 

This class qualifies for a KPS Learn & Earn Reward* 

If your crafting time has felt rushed, pressured, or just not as enjoyable lately, you're not alone.

This in-person session is a chance to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your knitting or crochet in a more supportive way.  

We'll begin with a gentle reflection on how your making has felt so far this year: no judgment, no fixing.  From there, we'll explore tiny, doable shifts (tiny habits) that can bring more ease into your time with yarn.  

You'll also learn a simple, approaching understanding of your nervous system, including why tension, frustration, or urgency can show up while you're crafting and how to shift back toward calm.  

You'll be knitting or crocheting throughout, with guided moments to notice, reflect, and experience the difference in real time. 

Thursday, April 23rd 1:30

Skill Level: Beginner
Skill Details:
Instructor: Susan Cox
Instructor Bio: A native of Nebraska, who returned after living in 3 other states for over 17 years. In February of 2024, I finally picked up my knitting needles again and quickly found that knitting was very cathartic and meditative. I love the fact that every pattern teaches me something new. After having experienced difficult losses and dealing with the grief cycle, my body gave signs of needing healing. I found whole body healing through many small but mighty practices. I pursued a new calling, directly related to my improved health and wellness - helping women find their calm and heal their bodies. I am a national board and functional medicine certified health coach. It gives me joy to help women love and care for themselves.
