Sangha: Crafting for Free Mom Hugs

Service Description

Friday, May 15th 7 pm - 9 pm at Zia Yoga & Wellness Event Description In this Free Zia Sangha, we’ll share in a community potluck as we craft yarn pom-poms to be gifted as tokens of love and acceptance to the LGBTQIA+ community at upcoming Pride and Free Mom Hugs events. No prior crafting experience needed to make these “portable hugs.” Materials will be provided, and everyone will learn how to make them together. Free Mom Hugs empowers the world to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and embraces people of all faiths, backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. What is Zia Sangha? Zia Sangha is our open community circle. A space to gather, reflect, and share in creative expression and meaningful conversation around common themes and lived practice. These gatherings are accessible, welcoming, and rooted in connection rather than instruction. Often centered around a shared meal or simple ritual, Sangha is where we return to one another and remember that practice is not meant to be done alone. What do I need to bring? We will provide all pom-pom crafting supplies, including yarn and pom-pom makers. You are welcome to bring your own. In addition, we encourage you to bring: * A pair of sharp scissors labeled with your name * Comfortable layers. * We will have floor seating on yoga mats with support and table seating available. * A potluck snack or appetizer to share. Be sure to include an ingredient list for any homemade items. * A filled water bottle
