I first learned to crochet 2 years ago because I wanted to teach my daughter.  However, it turned out that I was the one who fell in love with the craft!  It immediately became a passion that I just couldn't stop doing.

As a psychotherapist and a Seminarian at the Tree Of Life Interfaith Temple, I am always looking for a way to help others improve their wellbeing.

What I realized was that crochet is an excellent method to manage anxiety, certain kinds of OCD and ADHD.  It's a wonderful way to cope with the long, dark winter months and  tame unruly thoughts that take up our head all day long.

In class settings it's a perfect way to build community around a mutually enjoyed hobby.  Community is vital to the human spirit and to our quality of lives, yet we find so little of it in the days of technology.  

As someone who simply enjoys helping people, I knew I wanted to share the craft with others, so I decided to start Community Crochet. 

And I am thrilled to share this with you!
