Flax Seed Blessing (Online via Zoom) Monday 8th April - New Supermoon after Spring Equinox 8:30pm – 9:45pm British Summer Time (BST)
What will happen if an international community of linen-lovers unite in collective service to sow good intentions together? Let’s find out!
Join a global gathering of flax fibre growers, spinners, weavers and enthusiasts for a ceremony of connection, deep listening, and collective intention-setting in service to this moral fibre. Seed blessings have been an important tradition amongst earth stewards for millennia as they honour the animate forces of creation hidden within such a tiny potential. Seeds are alive with intelligence, energy, and a wisdom about their place in the web of life that many humans have forgotten.
Whisper your wishes
Connecting during an auspicious supernew moon and solar eclipse, we’ll journey in the imaginal realm through a relaxing guided meditation, to meet the spirit of flax fibre. We’ll share visions of a regenerated future with the seeds so they may take root and thrive along with this year’s plants. Through our co-created blessing ritual, we’ll amplify a web of reverence for the growing season ahead.
In addition to being beautiful to wear as linen, in the form of sail cloths and ropes, this ethereal yet strong plant helped our ancestors connect and communicate across the high seas. It has been spun and woven into the history of humanity and requires a slow discipline from those wishing to transform it from seed to cloth. It may be that flax plants are wisdom keepers enticing us towards the regenerated world we know in our hearts is possible.
Your seeds can be physical or metaphorical
What if you’re not growing flax? Do you own a pair of jeans? Join in service to the healing of humanity’s second skin anyway. Clothing is a basic human need and jeans are the most ubiquitous garment with over 2 billion pairs produced every year. Right now, almost all are made from cotton grown using herbicides and pesticides which have contributed to climate breakdown. However, there is so much beautiful diversity to reclaim and the predominantly volunteer-run, international Fibershed network envisions a day when our clothing will resonate with stories of restoration. By joining forces at these events, you’ll be adding your support to this uprising of regeneration.
