IN THIS EPISODE, WE’RE KICKING OFF SEASON 5 OF TATREEZ TALK! Join Lina and Amanne as we catch up after a full summer of teaching, creating, and building community — and share what’s in store for the new season.

Summer Highlights

Launch of Lina’s new “Design Your Thobe Story” workshop → happening Sept 25 + 27 for just $33! This 90-minute workshop is the easiest way to finally start your thobe — you’ll walk away with Lina’s sewing pattern, a design warm-up, and a mood board plan to keep stitching long after the session.
Preparations for our third annual Tatreez Retreat in Morocco this October
Amanne’s busy summer teaching classes, hosting circles, and organizing with Prosthetics for Palestine
Our first-ever Tatreez Talk LIVE in NYC with over 50 attendees (and lessons learned when the recording didn’t save…)
The joy — and necessity — of reconnecting with community in person

Looking Ahead This Season

Guest interviews with Palestinian artists across disciplines — from embroidery collectives to creative entrepreneurs
More live events and panels (Bay Area, we see you 👋)
Continuing to explore how tatreez serves as both personal grounding and collective resistance
Building connections that bridge online and in-person tatreez communities
