Listen "Megan Henderson - Felting & Folklore"
Episode Synopsis
The effect of knitting during the birthing process, the importance of resting, felting as the wild sister of fiber arts, and the role of felting in community practices and traditions all comes up during my convo with Megan Henderson. And the always impactful practice of letting go and surrendering to the present moment. Megan is a fiber artist living on a few wooded acres in Central Ohio who is inspired by nature, our connection to it and to each other, myths, lore and symbols, shadow work and the mysteries that lay just beyond our grasp.Key takeawaysPay attention and notice when fear needs to be conquered and when it is our intuition giving us a warning.Don’t beat yourself up when you find yourself going down the path of thinking you’re not doing enough. But if you try and notice when it happens, those feelings might lessen.You don’t have to EARN your rest.“We are not meant to understand it all. We are not meant to grasp it. We are meant to make guesses about it.”Megan HendersonMegan Henderson on InstagramMegan Henderson on FacebookNuno feltingInsight Timer meditation appFour Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Oliver BurkemanRest is Resistance, Tricia HerseyThe LeftoversArtHoles, 7 episodes of Frida KahloPulling the Thread podcast, Knitting Together our Lives (Peggy Orenstein)Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, Susan CainAntieau Gallery
