(for those of you who missed the gathering as we chatted and introduced ourselves we handed around red wool..weaving a connection...and then as we left some of us took some of the thread and wore it around our wrists. Amanda told us about the ritual of the red thread when a woman is pregnant and giving birth)
I googled 'red thread' and found that there are many references to red threads in various cultures as part of ritual and story. As I read I found key words such as 'connection, support, blood, community'...By the way I didn't deliberately choose red wool: I just grabbed it at the last minute as I wondered how we might organise a meeting. I like that.
