The Oracle of Stillness- The Heart of the Rose

This Woven Woman mixed media weaving is “The Heart of the Rose” from my ‘Oracle of Stillness’ series of tapestries.

She is in honor of and a celebration of all those that we hold most dearly in our hearts and souls, to infinity and beyond.

I’m posting all the images from the Oracle of Stillness here on www.tottietalkscrafts.com

Oracle of Stillness- Sanctuary

We have brought all the mixed media Woven Women tapestries of the “Oracle of Stillness” series home from #harcourthousegallery and our house feels like home again.

Not that it is easy to hang 50 tapestries in one small living room!

But it is lovely to be among all of them again.

My husband and I missed them when they were off in the gallery.

Today’s Woven Woman is “Sanctuary”.

I hope that your home is a sacred sanctuary that brings you healing, joy, respite, renewal and all good things.

Oracle of Stillness: The Mysterious and the Magical Have a Way of Waiting Patiently to Reveal the Astonishing

Today is the final day of the exhibition of ‘Oracle of Stillness: Weaving Coherence in the Chaos’ at Harcourt House Gallery in Edmonton, AB. If you are in YEG, do step over to the gallery, as they have done such an exquisite job of lighting the show that the Woven Women fairly dance on the walls.

I offer my most enormous gratitude to Darren Kooyman, Jacek Malec, Marija Nikolajev and the Board members of Harcourt House- it is such an honor to have been invited to exhibit at Harcourt House and I am eternally grateful for all the hard work that you have done to create and sustain such a wonderful centre for the arts in Edmonton!

The last Woven Woman that I wove for the series of the Oracle of Stillness is: “The Mysterious and the Magical Have a Way of Waiting Patiently to Reveal the Astonishing”.

She announced herself in a dream and I had to wake up to be sure to write down the correct words in the right order, as she was very clear that that was essential.

And, it was fascinating to feel that she was the final piece- the 50^th one…. I knew that I would be weaving 50 Oracles of Stillness, and was intrigued by how that unfolded.

She was very clear about exactly what I needed to do to make her fully true and accurate to her raison d’etre.

There wasn’t enough room in the gallery for all 50 of the mixed media Woven Women Oracles of Stillness to be in the exhibition, but I will get all 50 of them uploaded here on: www.tottietalkscrafts.com

Oracle of Stillness-The Writers Circle

Yesterday was a peak experience for me.

I was invited by a group of 7 contemplative writers to join them at Harcourt House Gallery as they gathered to immerse themselves in ‘The Oracle of Stillness: Weaving Coherence in the Chaos’ and then write about it.

I was feeling very sick and didn’t think I could make it, but I knew that I would regret it forever if I didn’t go.

And, oh my word! It was so powerful…. The energy in the gallery of kindness, respect, honesty, presence, integrity, healing and wholeness was like a tsunami of YES… this is the way the world should be!

I am in awe of the insights of this marvelous group of women sages and seers. To say that it was powerful is an understatement.

It was the perfect way to draw the exhibition to a close.

The show ends on Saturday November 22, so if you are in Edmonton, do step into the gallery- you can feel the magic of the writers circle still, I am sure.
