Mindful Mending

*The Spiritual Practice of Mending* We're excited to have local artist Emily Hartford offering a new monthly opportunity to be crafty, sustainable, creative, and spiritual in community. Read the full invitation below from Emily, and plan to join us for this new gathering of creative practice! *Mending has been healing for me: taking what once would’ve been discarded and giving it new life by resisting the urge to give up on what’s broken, instead reclaiming the beauty in the flaws. Join me in community as we practice noticing the places that need mending, both in our garments and lives. We will explore the creative ways in which we can declare to the world that broken simply means an opportunity to be made anew.* What to Bring: Yourself! If you have garments that need mending, bring them to work on as part of our creative practice. Location: Shalom Place, Community of Christ Temple, 201 S. River Blvd, Independence, MO 64050. Date & Time: 2nd Thursdays at 7:00 PM. Cost: There is no cost for this event, but donations are always appreciated.
