Sacred Stitching: Weaving Visions Into Being
A new podcast episode and an event preview
“Historically, many cultures viewed the creation of textiles, crafts and garments as sacred activities that held vast importance for the well-being of the community. The process of creating textiles was seen as mythological, a process of preserving sacred knowledge as threads were woven into the past, then to the sacred object in the present, and into future worlds.” – Ania Zoltkowski
This Sunday (October 6), we are welcoming autumn with a mythical in-person gathering in Berlin. Our long term collaborator, the fashion-textile designer, researcher and educator, Ania Zoltkowski, is our workshop host and will introduce us to the sacred origins of embroidery.
We gather to slow down, connect in a collective ritual, and work with the technique to stitch our desires, wishes and intentions into being. The workshop builds on the theme of our current print edition, Love Ethic, and will reflect upon what love has to do with textiles, crafts, and communal making.
There are only two more tickets left, so make sure to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you!

In time for the event, we’ve released our sixth episode of Weaving Beings: Conversations with The Lissome. It’s completing our inaugural series that we’ve had the great pleasure to create in collaboration with our host, Hardeep Kaur, of The Architecture of Contemplation, and audio producer, Ivan d’Avoine.
In this episode, we learn about Ania’s early start in fashion design; how these experiences showed her the limitations of the mass scale fashion industry; her desire to learn how a new vision of craft and making could be realised; connecting with craft from her own roots and finding embodied joy within it; the need for a radical shift towards love to help heal our relationship to Nature and how the story that Ania contributed to the latest issue of The Lissome was such a powerful rite of passage.
