“To be whole, to be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human – what we are connected to, rather than what we are separated from”
– Terry Tempest Williams
WILD HEARTH WEAVING RETREAT
Hong Kong - Lamma Island
Fri 6th - Sun 8th Dec
Imagine…
Spending your days tucked away on a beautiful, quiet beach, with nothing to do and nowhere to go but weave your very own basket.
Imagine…
Sleeping under the Stars & Moon, then rolling out of your tent and watching the sunrise in sacred silence
Imagine…
Getting to know our local plants, learning how to harvest, process and weave your very own soul basket from its fibres.
Imagine…
Cooking & sharing songs around a fire, strengthening your threads of connection with the natural world and deepening your sense of belonging to this land.

YOUR COMMITMENT
In exchange for this Immersion, I humbly ask for a donation amount of your choosing to support my continued work and study in ancestral weaving practices.
Donations from this specific gathering will go directly towards supporting my travel and costs to live and learn with my teachers in Arnhem Land, Australia in August 2025. This trip will involve 2 weeks of being on country with the master weavers of Mäpuru where they will share not only their traditional weaving practices, plant harvesting and processing, but sharing wild foods, camping under the stars and being in women's ceremony togerther.
​
Suggested donation per person for the 3 days and 2 nights: HKD2500 - 3800
If this is not an amount you can offer at this time, please give what you can. And if you're experiencing the joys of abundance at the moment, please considering donating more.
