Stitch n Bitch & the Peaceful Revolution: a love letter

I mean, if it’s not one of the top ten anti-capitalist things you can do, I don’t know what is.

Stitch n Bitch is one of my favorite things to do in the Kin Keepers’ Haven.

A big permission slip to show up, just as you are:

  • Permission to be imperfect
  • Permission to fuck urgency, and go slow
  •  Permission to release binary thinking
  •  Permission to cackle, long and loud
  • Permission to complain
  • Permission to create for creativity’s sake
  • Permission to reject perfectionism, hyper-indendependence, and the need to know it all
  • Permission to gather just to enjoy each other’s company
  • Permission to connect
  •  Permission to be messy and color outside the lines
  •  Permission to leave something unfinished
  • Permission to break the rules and go rouge
  • Permission to hang back and quietly count your stitches while the conversation flows around you like a warm embrace
  •  Permission to rip it up and start again

Or not

Once a month
Join from the comfort of your own space,
and be received,
without shame or agenda,
without expectation
without the productivity grind

And maybe plant the seeds of something bigger

Of course you can do it alone
But you don’t have to

Come sit in the circle

You’re welcome


Hello!

I’m Janine. My pronouns are she/her.

I am an anti-capitalist crone, post-trauma growth coach, and consensual copywriter.

I strive daily to identify and unlearn the voices of white heteronormative patriarchy that are insidiously planted in our brains from an early age – voices that, without critical inquiry, we often confuse as our own.

I dream of a return to the Commons and a world where all living beings have equal access to the necessities of life, including laughter, rest, creativity, and joy.

Even though I didn’t always have the words, this dream has been the undercurrent of all of my pursuits from an early age. 

I host the Caucus of Crones and Self-Centred in the Kin Keepers’ Haven, co-held online with my dear friend Trevia Woods.

I am available for 1:1 coaching sessions.
