Emerald Curtain Collective Monthly Gathering

This month’s activity: Prayer Flags Workshop

If you were to send out a prayer or wish for the world, what would it look like?

This month, Willow will lead the group in bringing thought to physical form and action- through creating both a collective prayer flag, and our own individual sets -for welcoming in the near year with intention. Prayer flags are a beautiful tradition of sending intentions, blessings, and prayers out to the universe, as the wind carries them from the fabric into the ethers. As we evoke them from the heart and mind, we weave and infuse our prayers into the fabric as we work- through the words and symbols that emerge.

Willow will share information on what makes this year so unique and important, with numerology and lunar astrology considerations for setting intentions for 2026, year of the Fire Horse.

We’ll be working with hand-dyed, up-cycled cotton squares that our volunteers have created from donated materials to craft both a community flag that will be joined together with others’ on a shared string, “come together in one accord, and hang them on one cord, together” as well as a personal set to take home. During our two-hour workshop, you’ll complete a single community flag and then begin work on your own set; participants are welcome to finish personal flags at home and add prayers, details and embellishment as inspiration strikes. No pressure to finish everything in one night. 🙂

Space and supplies are limited, so we’ll need an accurate headcount to prepare kits for everyone.

RSVP is required before Feb 8th.

Then, keep your eyes out for symbols, designs, or sayings that would embody your thoughts or feelings- and we look forward to creating with you!
