Macrame Challenge is here + Weaving Creativity


Hello Reader,

I hope you are well.

On Tuesday I was in London to host a mini-retreat with 4 other incredible women. We started with a cacao ceremony, followed by a break nourishing ourselves with plant-based food and finally an 'awaken your creativity' with the art of knotting' session.

We created a safe space and within this beautiful container we were able to talk and release many emotions, the tears I shed were much needed and it was magical to be able to share them within the group and feel completely supported.

Seeing the ladies unleash their creativity, enjoying being creative for the simple pleasure of it, not the outcome, and being proud of their handmade token filled with meaning and symbolism that was unique to them, filled my heart with so much joy.

It reminded me of the power of creativity and the reason why I am here right now, doing what I am doing: helping others re-discover their creativity within themselves.

For the past few days, I have been working on two exciting things!

FREE 4-day Macrame Challenge (thank you for all the people that helped me pick the project)

&

launching 'Weaving Creativity' again


Let's start with the FREE 4-day macrame challenge.

Starting the 25th of September for 4 days I will take you on a knotting journey to make an autumn-inspired wall hanging!

Are you ready to transform ordinary cord into extraordinary art? Join the challenge today and let the creativity flow!

👉 If you have never taken part in one of my macrame challenges before, everyone is welcome to join. They are aimed at novice/beginners to more advanced macrame makers, all the videos are pre-recorded and you can watch them at your own pace.

I cannot wait to see you there!!!

I have been running free macrame challenges since 2019 and this one is the first and only one for 2023.

Weaving Creativity is a gorgeous program I ran last year to help women reconnect to their creativity and find ways to tap into and trust their inner wisdom.

"Time is not found, it's created

You need to make space for that one thing that lights you up"

After the inspiring day on Tuesday, I realized that this course is so needed and many women want and crave time to be creative.

This is the course that will give you the tools, space, time and permission to be creative as an act of self-love and care.

Starting the 9th of October I will guide you on a 5-week beautiful journey.

Imagine a virtual retreat where we get to connect, share ideas, chat about creativity & ourselves and make space to re-connect with our creativity.

Opening that portal and treasure chest to your creative soul.

The first 5 people to enrol to Weaving Creativity will get 30% off, after that 5 more people will be able to join with 15% off before it goes full price.

I am looking forward to welcoming you and helping you unleash your creativity!

f you are called to be part of a container filled with creative souls, this is the space!

Macrame Heart

Hello Reader, I hope you are doing okay. The past 10 days have been really hard for me as I have watched in horror as innocent children, and people, have been suffering and taken away too early. My wishes and prayers every single day is for peace. I felt hopeless and heartbroken. Then yesterday evening, as I was teaching macrame jewellery for three hours at my local College for Adults, finally my frustration and hopeless were replaced with creativity, human connections, mindfulness, purpose...
