A Multi-generational Mending Circle led by mother and daughter Laura and Phoebe Whipple. Phoebe and I prefer to source second-hand, and thrifted clothes as much as possible, and also make our own garments and accessories. We both know that fashion can be a source of creative inspiration, but as a global industry, it's also a huge source of pollution and waste. As big believers in extending the life of our existing clothing and home goods, we’ll encourage participants to bring their old clothes or other fabric / fiber based items that need a little love to sustain their usefulness. 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...

Almost every region of the Earth has a local version of the deer, from Ancient Europe to the Steppe and from Asia to the Americas. Deer species have roamed the planet for over 3.5 million years. They are entwined with humanity on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

The ubiquity of the Deer Mother archetype in global myth suggests an interdependent co-arising of human awareness, as our ancestors interfaced with her sacred species across vast territories. She is a narrative locus for many stories of women's mysteries worldwide. We can gather in the depths of her liquid eyes and her trembling...
