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

Also Mentioned

• Noor’s Story Part 1: Palestine – Threads of Home by The Refugee Archive
• Noor’s GoFundMe → Lina is directly transferring funds to Noor to help keep her parents in Gaza alive
