Throughout history, the act of creating with plants and their colours has been imbued with sacred rituals. Whether in the form of weaving, embroidery, or dyeing, each process becomes a meditation, a way to direct energy and intention into the fabric. Weaving intentions into our work connects us to ancestral knowledge, guiding us toward healing and wholeness.
As participants engage in the dyeing process, they are invited to hold an intention for the fabric they are creating, much like a prayer or mantra. This can be something personal, related to growth, healing, or even a collective intention for the Earth.
Exercise: In silence, focus on a personal intention you want to weave into your work. As you prepare your plant material and textile, mentally and energetically imprint this intention into the fabric. Once complete, reflect on how the fabric and colour now hold this energy.
