So much happening in this - attunement, reciprocity, security, communication, overwhelm, holding space, loving connection…that little brain would have been lighting up everywhere…. 🧡

Wonderful start to our Sewing and Mending Course. Fixing and keeping our clothes rather than putting them in the bin and saving money during the cost of living crisis and learning news skills, supporting each other whilst chatting and laughing 💙
