An Introduction to Shamanic Knitting Retreat

Merge with your Inner Yarner

An Introduction to Shamanic Knitting

November 3-4, 2012

at Six Directions @ Pioneer Farm, Eagle, Ontario

This retreat will assist you with getting comfortable with the beginning aspects of knitting, and how to connect knitting in with your spiritual practice.  We will discuss the use of different types of yarn, and what the symbols on the yarn mean, as well as the many different tools and knitting needles that can be used for knitting and what their purposes are.

You will be invited to connect with the spirit of the yarn to understand what the story of your unique knitted piece will be.  We will sing our love and joy into the knitting that we create, just as many have done in the past and still continue to do so today.  As many have discovered, knitting is a very beautiful form of prayer work.

For this retreat, you do not need to know how to knit, though some familiarity with knitting would be helpful, it is not essential.  The basics will be reviewed throughout the weekend.

We will be using the technique of shamanic journeying to connect with the yarn spirits.  If you are not familiar with shamanic journeying, please connect with me and we can discuss this beforehand.  Even without the training in shamanic journeying, you will be most welcomed to attend and experience shamanic knitting!

Space is limited, so sign up early!
