The Collective Pattern initiative empowers refugee women by creating sustainable livelihoods through the preservation and cultivation of artisan skills, while promoting sustainable fashion and community-building practices.
The session began with creative expressions around the theme of "home." Participants shared powerful symbols of resilience and hope, including a generational tree, a wheat plant symbolizing family roots, and the beauty of Ukraine through the changing seasons. 🌻🌍
🧘♀️ A calming meditation helped the group connect with the earth and transform negativity into positive energy. A visualization exercise followed, focusing on stability and warmth, and a moment of unity was symbolized by forming a circle. 🌿💫
🎨 The creative session invited participants to explore personal and cultural symbols through drawing, reflecting on whether to change or preserve them. This activity brought everyone closer together and deepened the sense of community. 🖼️❤️
The initiative is implemented by the Refugee Council of Lithuania together with Heartwarmingly.
