WILD HEARTH WEAVING
HEARTH
At the central core of this art is the practice of returning to the Hearth space, the community, the source. We return, to remembering our undeniable interconnection & participation with the world around us.
HEART
To weave is to tend and mend the tendrils of our Heart space. The space of weaving can offer presence, safety & solace while we alchemize our Heartstrings & the plants into vessels that carry our truth.
EARTH
Wild foraging for weaving plants brings us back into connection with the cycles of the Earth and her seasons. Each blade of grass or tree bark is a direct reflection of the elements that participated in creating its unique form. When we tend to the Land, we tend to our bodies & spirit.
ART
Weaving is a commitment to the path of truth and beauty. It is bringing the unseen into the world, so that we co-create our vision into reality, right before our eyes.

Multi-day Wild Weaving retreats where you will bathe in the elements of the plants as you learn to forage for, tend to, and practice the art of weaving a basket that reflects our presence in place and time.
What is your personalized soul-basket? What is the reflection of your essence or your relationship mirrored back to you through a woven basket? Connect with Jasmine to co-create your individual, couple or group collective soul basket.
Support Jasmine's work as an artist, her continued studies and projects that she is dreaming up to support and celebrate indigenous weavers of wisdom from around the world.
SUPPORTING THIS WORK
This Quest that I am on brings me to continue building connections with indigenous weaving communities around the world. To learn from their craft & custodianship with the Land, to live into the Art of my own weaving so that this collective wisdom may be imbued into stories and experiences to be shared with the wider world & web.
This work is my life, and I give my life to this undeniable calling that I know serves a wider purpose for us all. My commitment to the mystery of this lies in the heart of moving with integrity of how to share in continued right relationship with the Earth and the communities that have long held these traditions.

These earthen baskets are our ancestors, they tell the story of our past as well as well as our future.
The roots are clear and deep, how these roots express themselves as they rise above ground still remain a mystery.
Your support will help guide this mystery, in the trust that whatever comes forth will, and can only be a thing of beauty.
