Stitch Meditations
Stitch Meditation Practice offers a calming and mindful experience through the meditative art of simple hand stitching. As a certified Stitch Meditation Facilitator, I guide participants in using a basic running stitch on small pieces of fabric to quiet the mind and focus on the breath. This 20-minute practice emphasizes letting go, noticing, accepting, and cultivating non-judgment, creating a space to simply "be." The intention is not to create a finished product but to embrace the process, allowing the rhythmic act of stitching to bring relaxation and presence. Sessions are available live or recorded online, as well as in person. Contact us for more information and to join this restorative practice.
Monday’s each month starting January 13th 7-7:30 pm CT. Registration required.
