Calm Stitching Practice

Step into a quieter way of making. 

Calm Stitching is a guided, in-person experience designed to help you slow down and reconnect with your craft.   With the lights softened and music playing gently in the background, you'll be led through simple cues that bring your attention to your breath, your hands, and the rhythm of your stitches.  

This is not a social stitching circle.   Instead, it's a quiet, yoga-inpired space where conversation is set aside so you can fully settle into the experience of making.   

Bring a project you're comfortable working on, and allow it to become a tool for focus, calm, and presence. 

No pressure.  No performance.  Just stitch by stitch, returning to yourself.
