In our Color of Woman teacher training, we are constantly weaving between doing our own work, & learning how to share offerings with our community, with our Beloveds. The First Red Thread session was making our Soulful Story Affirmation cards.
Next up:"This Livestream was recorded during the 2014 Color of Woman and provides two additional themes - "Creating Your Medicine Basket" & "House of the Heart" - which you can use as the themes for your own Red Thread Session Events."
I really enjoyed watching the videos, & crafting my Medicine Basket, .... I'm still getting the hang of working on watercolor paper again, (have done some off & on over the years) & of course, love the 'adornment' phase (glitter!! Shimmery paint, spirals, red threads ...
Some of the inquiries for the phrases in our baskets are:
We used glazing liquid or varnish mixed with a dab of paint to coat & affix the slips of paper, and an overlighting phrase that defines our role "I AM a catalyst for transforming the old stories into New Magic!" The last step was placing a symbol in the space between the basket & the handle. I chose a harp & heart ... and then adornment, glitter! Shimmer, sparkle, shine ....
With my harp in the basket, I'm reminded of a sail boat, & think of being carried by, as
well as carrying my basket!
Shiloh's did a bit of 'show & tell,' sharing a selection of paintings from previous Red Thread sessions.
With House of the Heart, I could picture working with youth (including my 16 year old foster (soon-to-be-adopted) granddaughter, who lived in 9 different foster homes over the 9 years before she came to us!!)
There is, indeed, a power in these shorter, 'simple' workshops that transcends space & time!

Some of the inquiries for the phrases in our baskets are:
- What will you be known for?
- What Healing tools & remedies do you offer?
- Who will come to your Red Thread Sessions?
- What is in your medicine basket?
