Stitching Intentions | Journal Covers

Service Description

Do you long for a mindful pause to slow down, reflect and set intentions for the year ahead? Do you wish to create a space that holds your thoughts, dreams and visions—a sacred container for what is unfolding? Or perhaps you’re simply craving stillness, softness and a place to create without pressure. As we welcome the new year, this half-day workshop invites you into a slow, reflective space of mindful making and contemplation. Through hand-stitching and upcycled textiles, you’ll create a fabric journal cover that becomes a vessel for your reflections, intentions and visions for 2026. No prior artistic or journalling experience is necessary. It’s a space free from judgment, where the focus is on the journey rather than the outcome. This experience offers space to: ✨ Slow down and cultivate presence through mindful stitching and tactile handwork ✨ Explore intuition and personal expression through creating a meaningful journal cover ✨ Foster calm, clarity, and focus through quiet contemplation and rhythm ✨ Experience connection through shared creativity and community ✨ Rest deeply and integrate your intentions through a guided Yoga Nidra practice When: Sunday, February 8th, 2026 Time: TBA soon What to expect: ✔ Slow stitching techniques that support presence, rhythm, and care ✔ Reclaimed fabrics rich in texture, colour, and story ✔ Dry needle felting to create a personal symbol or motif ✔ Time for journaling, reflection, and intention-setting ✔ A guided Yoga Nidra to integrate the creative process ✔ A supportive space free from performance or competition All materials and resources are provided *excluding your 2026 journal or planner and any specific fabric* you may wish to use.
