Join us at the second annual Filipinx Festival for a special workshop centering and celebrating Philippine textiles and traditions.

The theme for this workshop is weaving together the stories, fabrics and handicrafts that connect us, protect us, and keep our cultures and heritages alive. I will bring in stories of traditional Filipino weaving and all joining are invited to bring in their own cultural textile heritages.

Along with sharing stories of weaving, I will guide us through meditative, mindful and somatic exercises to connect us with belonging, protection, and home. You will leave with some reflections and tools to support you while you take care of many, tending to the fabric of our neighborhoods, communities, and larger society.

All backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome. If you have accessibility requests, please let us know. Our venue is barrier free.

What to bring:

·a story or cloth, fabric, embroidery from your personal heritage/inheritance

·a journal or notebook and a pen

·optionally, you may bring a blanket or something cozy like thick socks.

Looking forward to gathering, celebrating Philippine traditional textiles and weaving our stories and ways of being together!
