What becomes possible when we “walk a mile” in our own shoes?
Take some time to craft a story of self-empathy by making your own unique pair of slippers.
Wouldn’t it be great to put more of your time and energy into understanding yourself?
How about taking the megaphone away from your "inner critic” who is quick to jump on the loudhailer when things aren’t going great?
If you’re anything like me, you find it waaaaay easier to show empathy towards others’ mistakes. You’d never say the kinds of things to someone else, that you say to yourself!
So in this workshop we’re flipping the saying “walk a mile in someone’s shoes”, on it’s head. Instead, we’re going to take some time to welcome a part of ourselves we've found hard to accept and love.
Using our understanding of these shadow parts, we’ll craft our very own unique pair of slippers so we can literally embrace ourselves with a snug foot hug of acceptance!
I’m delighted to be teaming up with textile and fibre artist, Gail McCall, for this very special workshop.
Take a breather,
Connect with yourself,
Craft something you can literally wear around every day!
Here’s all the deets…
Our time together will include space for connecting and chatting, personal creative time, and the hands on making time… Oh and of course there’ll be time to grab a cuppa in there too.
We’ll guide you through every step of the felting process so you leave with your slippers made. Your soles will be ready to sew on once the felt has dried.
Beginners are most welcome. Some physical activity is required.
$80 includes all materials, equipment and a cuppa.
Slippers will be made from 100% wool tops and leather soles.
Are you in?
You’d pay $75+ on Etsy to buy a pair of felt slippers… And there’s no guarantee they’re going to fit you snug as a bug OR be the exact colour that you want!
Instead, spend the afternoon with us and you’ll get:
my guidance to take a gentle journey into your creative unconscious.
Gail’s masterful creative support as you craft your slippers.
time to connect with like-hearted travellers.
to learn the skills and processes of wet felting. AND
the satisfaction of wearing your own unique creation.
The investment: Just $80
And hey, we’ve only got 3 spare spots so if you’re keen you best jump to it!
Remember….
When we take a moment to “walk a mile in our own shoes” we create new possibilities for self-empathy and renewed energy!
Questions?
Do you have any discounts available?
We’re so glad you asked. YES! We’d like to offer 1-2 reduced/no cost tickets so folks without the means can still benefit. Please get in touch if you’re in this situation and we’ll shoot a ticket your way.
Is this one of those intense navel gazing type things?
I get it… signing up to something where you’re being asked to get deep and meaningful can feel uncomfortable when you don’t know me! And If you’re thinking “I just want to make the slippers” and leave the rest, don’t worry. We’re not going to be asking anyone to spill their guts or spend all afternoon reflecting. We’ll take a short trip into our creative unconscious to find the magic within; have a short time for writing/drawing/sharing and then we’ll jump straight in to our slippers.
If you’re keen, there’ll be plenty of space to contemplate and connect while we’re crafting our slippers. If you’re not, you can chat about whatever takes your fancy!
Urgh! Toxic positivity? No thanks!
I’ve got a huge radar for toxic positivity which comes in the form of “here’s the answer to your deepest struggles” or “just say this mantra daily and you’ll suddenly feel great”. There’s a lot of folks out there offering some form of quick fix to the complex journey of being ourselves in this big world. I’m not one of them! So expect encouragement and support to journey gently within to gift yourself a few moments of connection without any spoken or unspoken pressure to “be” anything other than just how you are.
Just a friendly reminder - we’ve only got 8 places available… so you best get to it if you want a spot.
