Treat yourself to days of knitting and meditation practice. Rebekah will lead participants through a series of mindfulness exercises to quiet the mind and heighten awareness to enhance your experience of knitting and the richness of the world around you. Using the repetitive motions of knitting one can enter a meditative state of awareness, returning again and again to the sensations of executing the stitch. She will discuss how you can bring this awareness into your selection of fiber, color and garment shape incorporating your perceptions of the world around you into your knitting practice. The week includes walks in the woods or on the beach, a trip to a yarn shop, light yoga and meditation, along with hours of knitting with fellow fiber enthusiasts.
