Macrame for Mindfulness | The Train Station
Arts
Join The She Shed Collective and The Station Foundation for an outreach experience called "Macrame for Mindfulness" in Southern Pines. This event is specifically open to spouses within the Special Operations Forces Community. During this experience, participants will have the opportunity to practice mindfulness while creating a macrame plant hanger. The art of macrame, known for its mood-boosting qualities, can have a positive impact on both mental and physical health.
Macrame has a soothing effect on the mind, allowing individuals to focus on the task at hand and experience more positive emotions and a sense of calmness. By entering a flow state, participants can enhance self-confidence, satisfaction, creativity, and emotional regulation. Engaging in macrame can also serve as a form of meditation, replacing stressors and negative emotions with uplifting thoughts and feelings.
Taking up art and crafts, such as macrame, can provide a much-needed balance and escape from the uncertainties of the world. Engaging your senses and experiencing the therapeutic textures can create a zone of calm and clarity.
The "Macrame for Mindfulness" event will take place on Friday, November 3, 2023, at The Train Station located at 235 NW Broad Street, Southern Pines, NC 28387. Participants are encouraged to arrive early for a hot beverage from Swank Coffee Shop. The event will begin with a discussion on letting go through art, followed by the macrame activity. Please note that this event has a maximum capacity of 10 participants and is on a first-come, first-serve basis. A cancellation notice of at least 72 hours prior to the event is kindly requested.
