This gathering is designed as a gentle pause, a space to reconnect with yourself while being held in the warmth of community. Whether you’re moving through something tender, seeking clarity, or simply craving rest, this afternoon offers space for it all.We’ll begin by settling into the space together with a guided medetation and journalling practice, followed by a guided, heart-centred breathwork journey led by the incredible Charise Alyssa. This practice supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and a deeper connection to your inner landscape, all at your own pace.Throughout the afternoon, you’ll have time to knit (or bring any fibre art you love), sip on thoughtfully selected, theme-inspired tea, and enjoy nourishing snacks. There will be space for quiet reflection, organic conversation, and shared moments of laughter and connection. Everything, always, is an invitation- nothing is manditory.Expect cozy, welcoming vibes, soft lighting, beautiful yarns, and the kind of presence that feels both grounding and expansive.No prior breathwork experience is needed, just come as you are.No knitting experience required (a complementary "how to knit" workshop will be heald in advance of the gathering- please indicate if you require this workshop upon registration)This is NOT a free event.

                "description": "The Healing Knit Society is the vision of Melissa, a mom of four (plus four bonus kids), a wife, a creative, an empath, a nurturer, and a lifelong overthinker. She’s someone who finds comfort in cozy moments, meaningful conversation, and making things by hand. She loves cooking, nature, the giggle of children, and yes, a playlist that can jump from gangsta rap to indie folk to classical without warning.Melissa first learned to knit at twelve years old, taught by her Nana. After about a year, the needles were set aside in favour of mall trips with friends, only to be picked up again in her twenties. Her projects were simple and often imperfect (mostly hats), but what kept calling her back wasn’t the finished pieces. It was the practice itself. The steady rhythm of the stitches. The quiet focus. The way knitting softened the noise of stress and overwhelm.Years later, a call for volunteers at her local library sparked something bigger. Melissa began leading a weekly, drop-in community knitting group, bringing yarn, tea, and snacks, and welcoming anyone who wanted to sit and stitch. What unfolded each week felt deeply meaningful. Again and again, it felt like coming home.Across the table, connections formed naturally. New Canadians practiced English one stitch at a time. Young girls found a place they belonged. Working mothers exhaled. Retirees shared wisdom. University students found calm in the chaos. Melissa witnessed the same truth over and over. When women gather with their hands busy and their hearts open, something healing happens.The Healing Knit Society was born from these moments and from a deep belief that knitting heals. There is profound value in the age-old tradition of women coming together to create, side by side. In a world that moves too fast and asks too much, there is something quietly powerful about slowing down together. These gatherings are not a luxury. They are a remembering. A place to be seen and feel held, one stitch, one conversation, one shared cup of tea at a time."
