Talisman Wax Carving With Marie
(£50/60)
We are very happy to have Tor back with us this year and she will be offering her very special skills to guide you through creating your own womb wrap to take home and use as part of your journey with your womb.
A little about the workshop:
Experience the magic of the ancient craft of weaving. Let yourself be held by the Loom and the softness of wool as you weave upon red threads a sacred wrap for your Womb.
This is a workshop to create a textile of ancient origins to whom I thank the indigenous cultures of the world for the continued weaving and sharing of this Womb medicine.
The womb wrap is worn wrapped around your womb space to offer warmth, protection, holding, and to return you home to your cyclical body.
We will be working with wool from the British Isles that I have hand spun and naturally dyed with plant Beings of the local landscape who each offer their own magic to the weave.
We will be working with intention and so I ask you bring an intention for your Womb and her cycles with you to work with as we weave. This might be something like 'I offer love to my womb through deeper awareness of my cycle' or 'I allow myself sacred rest'. I invite you to ask your womb herself for this intention during your menstrual time or at the New Moon if without a blood cycle.
No prior experience of weaving is necessary. This workshop is suitable for both menstruating and pre and post menopausal Women.
There is space for breaks and a longer lunch break too, please bring plenty of water to drink a packed lunch also.
Please be aware that weaving can be physically intense and so this isn't a workshop suitable for children.
I wish for every woman to be able to lean into the workshop fully and so I ask for any children (other than breastfeeding children) to be cared for by loving others outside of the yurt space for this time.
Any questions please email me at torwoven@gmail.com.
Join Marie and learn how to make your own jewellery using the ancient wax carving techniques around the fire.
Marie will gently guide you through the process of creating your own talisman.
You will learn all the skills required to create a pendant.
It will be a perfect time for you to relax, get creative and connect with other like-minded people. We will free our mind, open up our creativity and set beautiful intentions to create a special pendant in this 2hrs workshop.

- Wax carving tools & techniques knowledge
- Your final wax piece to take home with you
