This March marks the 5th anniversary of our SLOW WeTANGLE2gether Circle. What began in 2021, slightly after the peak of the COVID period, started with a simple intention: to gather tanglers to tangle together. We began with twice-monthly online gatherings via Zoom, each lasting an hour—and these online sessions continue to this day, alongside our physical meet-ups.
We had our first in-person meet-up in 2023, and since 2024, we've been meeting physically three times a year.
I am deeply happy that many who were once strangers have become friends. Whenever we meet in person, there is always so much sharing—not only about the Zentangle Method but also about life experiences, from which we all learn from one another. I'm glad we started small and have remained a small, cozy group. I am truly thankful to all the members who have supported and contributed to this simple, safe, and loving space. It is always my pleasure to host our sessions.
This morning, we had our first physical meet-up of the year. Since it's our 5th anniversary, we embraced the number five in our prompt: we used a "5" string, five tangles, and made sure to include the tangle "Fife." In addition to the Mindful Message Cards, I also brought my Rainbow Card Deck—just the blue cards, as blue is the fifth color of the rainbow.
It was especially meaningful to see everyone again after I had taken a pause to rest and step back from leading, allowing myself to simply be a participant outside of work.
Today has been a long day, but my heart is full, and I want to end it with gratitude.
💜 Gratitude to myself, to every member who showed up today, and to all who made our gathering possible
💜 Gratitude for the space, the snacks, the laughter, and the simple joys today—like the bus driver who waited and the lady boss who reserved the kueh for me
💜 Gratitude to my friend who invited me to her new home, to Teacher Feli for the consultation, and to everyone for your appreciation
💜 Gratitude to everything, everyone, and every experience.
Wishing all a restful Sunday tomorrow.💜
