Five days, ten minutes a day! In this FREE virtual retreat, you will receive a series of creativity prompts each morning. Your task is to find ten minutes to act on those prompts! You will get tips and suggestions for portability and ways to make yourself a quiet space wherever you are and have a few minutes to carve out for yourself.
At the end of each day, you will have the option to join a live call and ask questions, share your work, and stitch together with others if you have not found your ten minutes yet.
Monday, February 24-Friday, February 28 2025
Join me live at 7:30 PM Eastern Time (EST) each night
Why is this for me?
Could you show me a sample day?
First thing in the morning, around 8:00 am EST you will get an email. Inside will be prompts, such as "Think about your favorite river", "Take a walk outside and count 100 steps, then come inside and stitch"--" play your favorite song".
During the day, you will find a few minutes to act on one of those prompts, sit quietly and stitch (knit, crochet, tie knots or...). Each evening, you are welcome to join me on Zoom or in the Facebook group for a stitchalong.
During the Five Days we will:
New Resources and Prompts Daily
Get a variety of prompts and ideas to jumpstart your creativity every day in your inbox
Learn Ways to Find Time for Regular Practice
Find time to stitch, knit, knot, net or even draw.... quiet repetitive meditative practice
Optional Zoom Daily
Option to meet and connect online with other likeminded creative people and share your experience.
Rest your brain
When you sit and stitch, whether its stitching, tatting, knitting, rug hooking, knotting or.... the world stops
Your creativity has room to flourish.
Shut off the world.
Take a break from "news noise", politics, and stressors of your work , home, or your business.
This increases your productivity
Reduce Stress
Many health benefits of meditative stitching
Build Community
If you wish, you can find others to stitch with every day in the optional live sessions
Are You Ready to join the Quiet Stitch Virtual Retreat?
Come and join me in my favorite activity, stitching. In five days you will have gained the peace that comes from daily active meditation, and the beginnings of an ongoing creative practice.
You might have some questions...
No experience or knowledge is necessary. This is all about creating a meditative creative space for yourself, with emphjasis on process not a finished product
Absolutely!! Any textile art that involves repetitive hand motion has great benefits and its all about quiet creativity
It is very very simple. All you need to do is check your inbox in the morning, do the prompt during the day, and then, if you wish, come and engage in community either in the Facebook group or on Zoom(your preference) in the evening.
You will not need anything other than what is in your regular craft bag. If you have never stitched or done crafts, you can choose any simple materials that appeal to you--a crochet hook, a piece of string to knot, a needle, thread and/or your jeans with a hole.
