"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.  Maybe its about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place. " - Paulo Coelho

​

A two day offering for those willing to share safe creative space while exploring our innermost fears and insecurities that hold us back from creating our lives from our true source of power.  An opportunity to find the strength, courage, and confidence on the journey towards finding those roadblocks that hold us back and begin the process of letting go.  You will be led through the process of weaving to create a personal totem, as we utilize the creative process of weaving, to teach us and guide us in this journey.  Weaving from the heart, we will seek the comfort and company of personal creative space, allowing room for shifting perspectives in who we are and embrace unhindered expression from our greatestet inner source.
