Medicinal Intentions for a Forest
Lead Artist: Lara Felsing
Location: The Arts Centre, 5714 Medusa Ave, Sechelt
Free, Drop-In
Lara Felsing will lead a workshop that invites participants to learn about the Medicine Wheel in Indigenous traditions and how plant medicines and making can be a gesture of care for our forests. The workshop invites the community to join Lara and stitch a personal handwritten intention for the local forests onto the Medicine Wheel blanket. The Medicine Wheel blanket was made with traditionally harvested plant-dyed second-hand fabrics and hand-stitched with remnant cotton thread. The blanket advocates for protecting all forests, and is a gesture of care and gratitude for the invaluable gifts provided by Mother Earth. The finished Medicine Wheel blanket will be exhibited in the Branching Songs Exhibition.
