The Gratitude Pouch: Patch, Stitch and Some Grati-Thoughts

Immerse yourself in a creative and meaningful experience at our Gratitude Pouch Workshop, where art and mindfulness come together to inspire reflection and self-expression. This session offers a unique opportunity to slow down, focus on the positive aspects of life, and channel those feelings into a personalized keepsake. By combining artistic elements with the practice of gratitude, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind pouch that not only reflects your creativity but also becomes a powerful tool for nurturing thankfulness. This workshop goes beyond just crafting; it’s a chance to cultivate mindfulness and create a lasting habit of gratitude that will enrich your daily life. It’s about celebrating what’s meaningful, expressing it in a tangible form, and leaving with a sense of peace and positivity that continues long after the session ends.

Guided by one of INTERSECTIONS featured artists – multidisciplinary artist Paulina Constancia, who uses fabric to connect with her cultural roots- participants will dive into a creative process that weaves together memory, tradition, and identity.
