Grief Stitching helps hold what feels too big to hold.
This online stitching group is a safe space for exploring and releasing grief and loss and is facilitated by a registered Expressive Arts Therapist. Explore the intersection of textiles (specifically slow stitching), creativity, connection, and grief through expressive arts processes.
Slow stitching is an intentional process of hand stitching using assorted fabrics, a variety of knots, and free stitching. There is no need for "neat outcomes" or pretty completed projects. Slow stitching techniques embrace imperfection and wonky stitching. You work at your pace; we don't finish a piece per session but rather build a body of slow-stitched work progressively over several months using prompts and our lived experiences.
This group is intended as a community that gathers for ongoing, flexible support. We understand that life is tricky, so you can commit one week at a time. Circles are facilitated online and in person (Brisbane) and are capped. We understand this life season is complicated, we make it easy to commit to just one Circle at a time. Circles will eventually run Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings every alternate week but are a little sporadic for the next few months. Different times and days may be offered if needed.
There is also an online community aspect for regular, informal supportive engagement and connection with fellow grief sojourners called the Stitching Pharmacy (optional).
The Stitching Box is curated with specific fabrics, colours, textures and sewing items to make fortnightly participation easy.
NDIS participants are most welcome. Please message me for details and an invoice. (I am a registered Arts Therapist)
A gentle reminder: Focus group sessions are not a substitute for individual therapy sessions but are a supportive adjunct to your grief, healing, and mental health goals. These sessions are not designed for diagnosis or individual treatment of acute psychological distress or specific mental health conditions.
