After the ceremony closed, we remained in circle and began work on our prayer flags. Like women have done for generations before us, we fell into a rhythm, creating our handiwork side by side, while sharing stories and offering each other support.
It was so fun to watch each woman's creative process take form; each set of flags is sure to be truly unique. Kenji braided hemp to string her hand painted, multi-colored flags upon:
The Snail hand-carved her own block print (see her finished flags here):
And a whole lot of fabric cutting, design layout and truly mindful crafting was underway.
Check back later in the week to see some of the finished flags blowing in the wind.

I started cutting out my flags last night.
It was so much fun, and I can't thank you enough for suggesting this mindful craft. For two moons running you have kept us all focused! Well done!

I wish I was one of your friends! It looks like fun! I went to a great overnight retreat held by Veriditas, Dreaming the Sacred Feminine, at the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. It was wonderful!
