Join us for the fourth Saraswati Sundays gathering — an afternoon of creativity, contemplation, and community at Kagyu Ling Buddhist Centre.
Our February theme, “The Art of Hair Wraps & Feather Hats,” invites us into playful transformation — combining usefulness with creativity.
Together we will create:
• Temporary or removable clip-in hair decorations using colourful threads, beads, shells and feathers
• Upcycled hats adorned with beads, string and feathers
This session explores hair as canvas, feathers as story — small details that bring delight to the everyday. Practical beauty for everyday adventures. Joy, wrapped and worn.
Naturally playful. Beautifully worn.
A little magic you can wear on your head.
As always, we begin with a shared lunch — hearty soups and stews, served with sourdough bread (with butter!) that Manchester can be proud of — before moving into the creative session.
All materials are provided.
(feel free to bring your own hats to decorate)
All ages and abilities are welcome
(children and under-18s should be accompanied by an adult)
There is no fee to attend — generosity is central to the spirit of the project, and donations are welcome to support future sessions.

Adorn. Express. Transform.
