Star weaving is an Indigenous and Pacific Island craft activity that supports mindfullness & encourages new conversations. We feel more joy and hope when we share the responsibility of creating safe spaces for everyone.
We want to inspire communities to come together to create safety and dignity for everyone. Our STARter kits can help you get started and then we encourage you to continue gathering your own local materials, including recycled paper, fabric off cuts or plant foliage.
