She walks close to the moon, the song of the hawk guiding her. She is filling her basket with flowers. She is pregnant with possibility. But she has known loss. She has known despair. She has known pain. She is the one who is hurting and still says to life, as poet Ellen Bass writes in The Thing Is, “Then you hold life like a face/between your palms, a plain face/no charming smile, no violet eyes/and you say, yes, I will take you/I will love you, again.” I have long loved that poem—for decades and the determination and willingness of the heart, though broken, that is willing to love again. This is a tapestry of such resilient love. You will find those words of the poem on the back of the tapestry, a gentle and encouraging reminder of your own resilience and strength, of how we can find beauty in ashes.

I can’t take my eyes off this beautiful piece of art!
Sam created a wedding shower gift of dreams! She wove family history into a gorgeous useful and lush shawl for the bride, who brought it all the way to Europe and included it in her wedding celebrations. Sam was thoughtful and responsive as an artist and weaver, asking questions and offering options at each step of the process. I swear to goodness there is love woven directly into the artwork. I already have a new request for her.
I took this class last winter and I look forward to taking it again this fall! Its an intentional meditation practice (both the meditation AND the weaving) but you learn a craft too! And create a beautiful object that is meaningful! While I had done various arts and crafts as a child- I was new to weaving. I was surprised how quickly the skills came with Sam’s guidance. Can’t wait to take it again! Hope to see you there.
Wonderful, creative, fun, and grounding class!
Sam and goat yoga is amazing! Sam’s class has allowed me to become grounded in myself, connect with earth and living beings all at once. After being in a state of high anxiety constantly, this class is has been a blessing. I highly recommend this class to anyone seeking the same peace.
