Participants continued building their sewing skills in a supportive, hands-on environment. From practicing basic techniques to becoming more comfortable with sewing tools and materials, each session helps participants gain confidence and enjoy the creative process.

This program is about more than sewing. It creates a welcoming space where women can learn practical skills, share experiences, support one another, and grow together.

We are grateful to everyone who joined and contributed to the warm and encouraging atmosphere. We look forward to continuing this meaningful journey in the weeks ahead.

During the session, participants had the opportunity to get familiar with sewing materials and machines, learn basic techniques, and begin developing their sewing skills in a supportive environment.

More than just learning a new skill, the gathering created a space for creativity, confidence-building, and meaningful community connection.

We look forward to the weeks ahead as we continue learning, creating, and growing together.

Last Friday, at our March Dialogue Book Club gathering, we came together around the theme of Women & Immigration. Inspired by The Swimmers and the powerful story of Yusra Mardini, we reflected on a question many immigrants carry in their hearts: “Where am I?”

Perhaps home begins the moment your whole life fits into a single suitcase. And from that moment on, every place your suitcase reaches slowly becomes home.

At the heart of our gathering, we opened a suitcase and invited each participant to place a memory from their journey inside shoes that crossed borders, diplomas left behind, a mother’s embroidery, a father’s keepsake.

Different stories, one shared truth:

Migration is not an ending, but a new beginning.

At the end of the evening, each participant received a small ivy branch with a handwritten note:

“Bloom where you are planted.”

A symbol of resilience, belonging, and the strength to grow wherever life takes us.

Our hope is that migration transforms our stories not into victimhood, but into journeys of courage and growth.

May every new place become a space to take root, to bloom, and to truly belong.

We will watch The Swimmers and read Where Am I?, opening a space to explore home, belonging, and the journey of rebuilding life in a new place.

What does it mean to leave, to arrive, and to begin again?

How do we carry “home” within us?

A warm, safe, and intimate space for women to share stories, listen deeply, and connect.

You are welcome just as you are.
Bring a piece that makes you feel at home !
We are meeting on March 27th!
