A Multi-generational Mending Circle led by mother and daughter Laura and Phoebe Whipple.

We can take 12 students, and there will not be a materials fee. We’ll supply a variety of thread, needles, yarn, embroidery floss, fabric and mending inspirations. If...

Motherhood is one of the most profound rites of passage and portals of transformation that exists, yet very few of us have the tools, community, or support to truly explore what this really means for each of us individually, and to be honored, within and without, for the new woman and archetypal reality...
