In this course, which meets on ten Saturdays from September to May, we design and sew garments using four natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool and silk) to create four items for a complete outfit. Drafting simple patterns and sewing by hand gives us an opportunity for meditative work and a chance to center ourselves. Over the course of the year we experience different sewing techniques, plant dyeing, and embroidery as we create our own unique fabric for our garments.
These events will provide a time to experience the extraordinary in the "ordinary." Each event will combine a time of quiet observation in small groups involving graphics, notes, sharing, and a time to experience the view of a hiker in the landscape.
Participate in the end-of-season harvest of flowers, leaves, and roots from our biodynamic dye garden, and experience dyeing natural materials. Feel the healing energy from the plant world as you receive the beautiful colors from nature.

A Michaelmas biography workshop with Sea-Anna Vasilas. Through reflection and conversation, we will traverse the paths of each of our lives in search of the events, relationships, and even crises, through which the Spirit of God can be perceived. How can we learn to recognize the work of the Archangel Michael, as the countenance of Christ, in the signs of the times and in our own lives?
