Pine Needle Baskets: Weaving Prayer into Physicality

Pine Needle Baskets: Weaving Prayer into Physicality

Join me to learn how to weave baskets made from Pine Needles! This is one of my favorite things to do! It is a great, all natural craft that is not only a useful skill, but is actually a way to weave magik and prayer into your life. Through the making of each basket, we are given the opportunity to infuse prayer and intention with each stitch. Through this process we can anchor our prayer into reality and help shift the energy within and around us. This is a potent practice! Since the beginning of time and in every culture, people wove with intention. Baskets, blankets, clothing, flags. Often imbued with prayers of protection, strength, health, abundance, joy, fertility, etc., our ancestors knew that this practice works! And it does. Through weaving Pine Needle Baskets, I have dramatically changed and shifted my life in many ways. Let me show you the way and let’s see what you can create! Come explore with me!

Through making Pine Needle Baskets I was inspired to start making Pine Needle Rattles! I will offer a Pine Needle Rattle class later this Summer/Fall. Participants MUST take this PNBasket class first so you have a base of knowledge/practice!

*This class will be required for anyone to attend the Pine Needle Rattle class!!

During this class we will have the opportunity to connect deeply with both dandelion and violet-- learning their energetic and physical healing properties, tasting and preparing various recipes, and harvesting plants to take home. The day will offer us an opportunity to fully engage with the energy of spring, recharge our spirits after the winter season, and enliven and rebalance our bodies with the nourishing properties of spring dandelion and violet leaf. Depending on the timing of the violet flower bloom, we also hope to immerse ourselves in the exuberance that this precious spring flower offers for uplifting our spirits. We will be learning about how to make the most out of these two precious plants by making a wide variety of herbal concoctions, including vinegars, tinctures, oils, honeys, butters, pestos and more!

Julia and Esther will have nourishing snacks and tea available made from wild spring plants. Please bring a potluck lunch dish to share with ingredients listed.

We invite you to spend the day with us as we welcome the spring together through a deep connection with these amazing plant friends!

$85, Part of the proceeds will go to the Miss Beatrice Full Circle Project.

Come Celebrate!
