Contemplative Knitting: Knitting as a Peaceful Act with Elaine Yuen and and Karin Maag-Tanchak Fri January 30th: 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Price: $200 Non-Member Lodgers pay $300: includes Friday and Saturday lodging and breakfasts. This program will serve as an exploration and deepening of the natural mindfulness inherent in knitting. Instruction will also be given in simple yet progound mindfulness/awareness meditation technique, suitable for beginning meditators. The last few months have been an upsetting time, whether we were directly affected by the current events, or not. This workshop is designed to help us slow down and let go of some of the anxiety or stress we may have felt: to help us become accepting and grateful for what we have: and through the act of peaceful, mindful knitting look beyond our own lives, towards others. Our project will be making afghan squares using a variety of stitch patterns, some of these will be assembled into a blanket to be donated to a local shelter. Please bring a great variety of leftover yarns and needles! Each participant will receive a specially prepared booklet of patterns and instructions to use and take home. Light yoga and various sensory appreciation exercises will be offered, plus ample periods of knitting time.
