The Joy of SAORI Weaving Workshop with Rosie Green
Slow down and reconnect through the art of SAORI weaving—a joyful, pressure-free day filled with creativity, self-expression, and meaningful connection. Enjoy delicious food, good company, and the serene atmosphere of Trigonos while exploring your artistic side.
Join Rosie Green, an experienced textile artist and facilitator, for a fun, creative workshop that will leave you feeling inspired and rejuvenated.
SAORI weaving is a free-flowing, uninhibited practice that celebrates the unique sensibilities we all possess and the inherent power to create. Rooted in the belief that we are all born with the ability to express our authentic selves, SAORI weaving fosters deep connection—with both our creative spirit and with others. By embracing our individuality while honoring our shared humanity, this practice nurtures self-awareness, compassion, and a sense of global connection.

Escape the hectic pace of life, slow down, and create with both your hands and heart.Creativity with Like-minded People
Enjoy some well-deserved "you time" while also connecting and sharing with others in a supportive and inspiring environment.Supporting Your Wellbeing

Savor our biodynamic, seasonal produce—grown onsite and lovingly prepared by our chefs to nourish both body and soul.Tranquil Surroundings
Relax and recharge with leisurely walks, fireside reading, and simply soaking in the beauty of Eryri National Park, an enchanting part of Wales.
SAORI weaving is not just a craft—it's a philosophy of personal creativity and self-development practiced worldwide. For some, it serves as a form of meditation, for others, it’s a way to relax and recharge. And for many, it's simply a joyful way to create beautiful woven cloth!
At the heart of SAORI, there are no rigid plans or predetermined designs. The process is free-flowing, where the act of weaving itself becomes an expression of individuality. The finished cloth is always a delightful surprise. The unique design of the looms and materials used result in fabric that is ideal for making simple garments that celebrate the beauty of the cloth itself, with little or no cutting. The drape and adjustments are intentionally left to showcase the maker's individuality, creating a garment that is entirely their own.
SAORI weaving follows five guiding principles, which will be embraced during the retreat:
Consider the differences between a machine and a human being
Be bold and adventurous
Look out through eyes that shine
Inspire one another and the community
We are born with creativity and intuition
By embracing these principles, we honor the philosophy that creativity and intuition are inherent in us all.

Slip away and let inspiration guide you to ‘weave from your heart’. There’s no pressure or expectation, yet you’ll be surprised and amazed by what you create throughout the day.Deepen Your Connection with Your Natural Self

Who is this Workshop For?
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to switch off, re-focus, or try something new. It's ideal for those who want to spend time in the stunning surroundings of Eryri National Park, connecting with like-minded people while exploring creativity and relaxation.
“One of the best experiences I have booked. Rosie is an amazing woman. She completely makes you feel at ease and instills confidence in your ability to weave. And she is totally correct! I made a beautiful table runner. However, the whole experience is more than creating a beautiful piece of weaving. Words do not accurately describe this phenomenal experience. Make this a destination on your journey. Simply Amazing!”
About the Facilitator
Rosie Green’s journey into hand weaving began when she took a textiles course, sparking a deep passion for the craft. In 1982, she relocated to North Wales, where she began demonstrating at the Bodeilio Weaving Centre on Anglesey. In 2014, Rosie opened SAORIMôr, becoming the first registered SAORI free-weaving studio in Wales.
As an Artist Facilitator, Rosie’s practice has evolved over the years, enriching her understanding of the creative process and its significant role in our lives. Through SAORI, she guides others to explore their creativity and find their own path in life.
“I am a facilitator and instructor in SAORI weaving but I also have a long experience in traditional weaving. This helps me understand the various approaches people might have and helps me support each individual and their particular needs. The SAORI looms are easy to use and allow for the use of accessories to enable those who have any form of disability, whether significant or less so, to weave with equal value to anyone else. There is no judgement or comparison, we are all equal as human beings.”
An Insight to the Day…
The day will begin with introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and understands what to expect. After that, each person will work at their own pace, weaving with colours and textures of their choosing, with support and encouragement from Rosie. You can choose to work quietly or engage in conversation and ask as many questions as you like. At the end of the day, you will cut your work from the loom and have the chance to share your experiences. This will be a time to discuss your cloth, reflect on how you feel, or learn how to finish your work.

What is The Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique, developed by Frederick Matthias Alexander (1869–1955), is a method focused on improving posture, movement, and body awareness. It is based on the principle that poor posture can contribute to a variety of health issues. By learning to re-align and re-balance the body, individuals can achieve more natural, efficient movement and reduce unnecessary strain.
The Alexander Technique can offer:
Relief from posture-related pain
Increased body awareness and balance
Stress management and reduced tension
Enhanced performance for athletes and performers
More comfortable pregnancy
Faster recovery following injury or surgery
Better vocal use and breath control
About the Facilitator
Alison trained with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique in Kendal, Cumbria, and has been teaching since 2001. She is also a certified Reflexologist with the Association of Reflexologists, a Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance Professionals, and has specialized training in Pregnancy and Childbirth as a Doula and in Eutokia.
Before pursuing her career in teaching the Alexander Technique, Alison worked in the computer industry and initially discovered the benefits of the technique through managing back pain. With a lifelong love of movement, Alison had always dreamed of being a dancer, but digestive pain prevented her from pursuing that path.
Since her mid-twenties, Alison has used her knowledge of the Alexander Technique and Yoga to improve her movement quality and running style. Now, she teaches others how to regain the joy of movement without relying on painkillers or surgery. In 2024, Alison published her first book, The Jigsaw Method – Building Balance into Your Diet with the Power of the Moon.
In addition to her work in movement and health, Alison is passionate about cycling, gardening, and cooking. She runs cookery demonstrations and teaches her Re-balancing Your Diet Programmes and the concept of Lifestyle Nutrition. Alison's natural enthusiasm for cooking also plays a role in her holistic approach to health, especially when it comes to digestive health.
Alison also has a special interest in teaching the Alexander Technique to children both in and out of school, using creative and fun methods to help kids learn and build confidence.

A note from Lara
Special Health considerations for Hypopressives:
The apnoea (breath-hold with vacuum) element of Hypopressive breathwork is not recommended if you are pregnant or affected by any of the following health complaints;
an active cancer
cardio-respiratory disease
uncontrolled blood pressure
acute inflammatory gut disorder such as Crohn’s Disease
had recent abdominal surgery
This is because, during the Hypopressive apnoea, pressures within the body are lowered. This ‘vacuum effect’, may not be tolerated in people with the conditions above, but will not affect your ability to do and enjoy the other elements of Hypopressive exercise.
Upon booking you will be required to complete a short health questionnaire to ensure that where necessary the technique is modified to suit you.
If in any doubt, you must seek advice from your doctor/relevant heath care professional before booking a place, I will not be able to make judgement on your fitness to participate on the day.

'The Joy of SAORI Weaving Workshop with Rosie Green
Join Rosie Green, experienced textile artist and facilitator, on this fun and creative workshop.
SAORI weaving is rooted in the activity of free-flowing, uninhibited hand weaving and the core philosophy that we are all born with unique sensibilities and the power to create. SAORI is not only a practice of connecting deeply with one’s own creative and authentic self, but it is also a practice of connecting deeply with others. By discovering and nurturing our individuality yet shared humanity and ability to express ourselves, we cultivate awareness and compassion within ourselves and our global community.
Workshop Highlights:
Opportunity to Switch Off: Escape from the hectic pace of life, slow down and create something with your hands and heart.
Creativity with Likeminded People: Enjoy some you time whilst also sharing time with others.
Supporting your Wellbeing: In the beautiful setting of Trigonos your daily troubles and stresses will slip away and inspiration will come to ‘weave from your heart’. There is no pressure or expectation yet you will be surprised and amazed by what you produce in the day.
Delicious Nourishing Food: Enjoy our deliciously grown bio dynamic produce, from the land to the plate, lovingly created by our chefs for you to enjoy.
Tranquil Surroundings: Indulge in relaxation, leisurely walks, and fireside reading in a beautiful part of Wales, Eryri National Park.
What is SAORI?
SAORI weaving is a philosophy of personal creativity and self development practiced all over the world. With some it is a form of meditation, with others it is a means of relaxing and recharging their energies. And of course others who simply want to weave cloth!
We do not make plans, or have set ideas of what we will weave, and the finished cloth is always a surprise and a joy. The design of the looms and the type of materials we use produce a cloth that is suitable for garment making. These garments are simple, with little or no cutting to celebrate the cloth, and where drape and adjustments allow for individuality and a unique garment to suit the maker.
Within the SAORI philosophy there are five slogans of weaving which will be followed during the retreat:
Consider the differences between a machine and a human being
Be bold and adventurous
Look out through eyes that shine
Inspire one another and everyone in the community
We will follow the SAORI philosophy that we are born with creativity and intuition.
What to Expect:
From the Heart: Slip away and inspiration will come to ‘weave from your heart’. There is no pressure or expectation yet you will be surprised and amazed by what you produce in the day.
Deepen your Connection with Your Natural Self: Enhance your self-understanding through SAORI.
Disconnect from the Modern World: Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life to flow with the calming rhythm of Trigonos an option digital detox to truly unwind too.
Nourish Your Wellbeing: Rejuvenate your mental, physical state.
This Workshop will Help You:
• Calm your Mind: With a ‘no rules, no mistakes’ philosophy SAORI weaving will relax your state of being.
• Timeout for Yourself: Opportunity to get away from the busyness of day to day life.
Who is this Workshop For?
This workshop is for anyone who needs a bit of time to switch off and re-focus, or who just wants to try something new and spend time in a beautiful place in the heart of Eryri with other like minded people.
“One of the best experiences I have booked. Rosie is an amazing woman. She completely makes you feel at ease and instills confidence in your ability to weave. And she is totally correct! I made a beautiful table runner. However, the whole experience is more than creating a beautiful piece of weaving. Words do not accurately describe this phenomenal experience. Make this a destination on your journey. Simply Amazing!”
About the Facilitator
Rosie Green was first drawn to the practical process of hand weaving when she took a course in textiles. Since then she has followed a path in weaving. In 1982 Rosie moved to North Wales where she started demonstrating in the Bodeilio Weaving Centre on Anglessey. In 2014 Rosie opened SAORIMôr and was the first registered SAORI free-weaving studio in Wales.
As her practice as an Artist Facilitator has developed and changed over the years, Rosie has learned many things about the creative process, its value and its place in the lives of all of us. The process of SAORI helps us find our way.
“I am a facilitator and instructor in SAORI weaving but I also have a long experience in traditional weaving. This helps me understand the various approaches people might have and helps me support each individual and their particular needs. The SAORI looms are easy to use and allow for the use of accessories to enable those who have any form of disability, whether significant or less so, to weave with equal value to anyone else. There is no judgement or comparison, we are all equal as human beings.”
An Insight to the Day…
The day will start with the usual introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable and understands what to expect. For the rest of the day each person works at their own pace weaving with colours and textures of their own choice with support and encouragement from Rosie. You can work quietly or talk and ask as many questions as you like. At the end of the day you will cut the work from the looms and share your experiences of the day. This can be a time to chat about what your cloth might be, share how you feel or just learn how to finish off your work.

About the Facilitator
Her journey though life has taken twists and turns that have been challenging, interesting and brought her lots of enjoyment. Travelling for 4 years whilst she decided what she should do with her life broadened her horizons. Working in social care as a social worker and latterly a dementia trainer has increased her awareness of the trials and tribulations facing many people as well as developing her creativeness and problem-solving skills. Becoming a grandma has certainly given her much more fun that she’d ever have imagined. Working in adult career guidance made her think about the challenges faced when thinking about what’s important in life and how we have to balance where our hearts want to lead us and what is actually possible in our situations.
All of this and more has led penny to run workshops about thinking about how we make the most of our later life.
