Awaken the Weaver
Free Workshop
Come share in story, song and blessing to honor & awaken the Weaver who lives in you.
75 Minutes
Whether or not you’ve ever woven a cloth or made a basket – We are all Weavers.
We take what is separate and bring it together to create beauty, gathering the threads of our inner landscapes to craft the fabric of our lives.
This gathering is designed to awaken your path as a Weaver — both literally and metaphorically.
Together, we will honor the weavers in our lineages, calling on their wisdom to guide us forward during these changing times.
Through personal stories of transformation, songs, and a special cloth blessing, we will explore how the sacred crafts of spinning and weaving offer a way to slow down and bring healing to our fast-paced, modern lives.
Whether you are already weaving or feel drawn to these ancient practices, we invite you to join this circle of inspiration, magic, and empowerment.
We will share in stories, teachings, and old lore to deepen our connection to the art of cloth-making and reawaken the power of these ancestral crafts in our hearts and hands.
We invite you to this ritual gathering to honor the weavers in your lineages and to rediscover the magic of these ways.

Greetings, I'm Hanna Leigh
FOUNDERESS, WEAVING REMEMBRANCE
Hi! My name is Hanna Leigh, (IG: @hannaleighsong) and I am a Singer-Songwriter, Voice Doula, Weaver, and Devotee of this precious, living Earth. I was raised in California (Chumash territory) though in recent years have spent extensive time residing on ancestral lands in the Celtic isles. My people migrated to the U.S. several generations ago from England, Scotland, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands.
This organization, Weaving Remembrance, was birthed through my own passion to to reclaim ancestral wisdom and grow in intimate reciprocity with this miraculous earth that sustains us.
I feel passionate about inspiring folks to connect with ancestral crafts, particularly spinning & weaving. These practices have brought much magic & goodness into my life, and I feel they are important anchors for the turbulent times we are in. Come join us in the practical magic of reawakening to these old ways!
