SEAMSIDE: Exploring the Inner Work of Textiles

FAILURE AS DATA


Listen Later

What if you approached your creative work like a scientist approaches experiments—with genuine curiosity rather than pressure? This meditation helps you shift to a "What happens if...?" mindset. We'll explore experimental questions (doing the opposite of what you usually do, using the "wrong" tools deliberately, combining things that supposedly don't go together) and practice reframing failure as results rather than mistakes.

REFLECTION QUESTION → What would need to be true for you to give yourself full permission to "waste" materials on experimentation?

AFFIRMATION → I don't need to know how this ends / I only need to begin

WANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice. We’d love to have you <3
