Excerpt from a letter dated March 5, 2020
“Simon and Lucia decided to move further in adopting the weaving craft, so we visited a few communities where traditional materials such as flax and wool are still used. They took part is a workshop led by Miss Tereza, who taught them how to process wool.
The workshop was recorded by Kristof using video and text. You can see the output at http://www.gokula.cz/farm-life/articles/report-about-wool-manufacturing.
After the workshop, we decided to get our own loom. Acquisition of the loom was supported by the father of Simon and Kristof with a half of needed sum so we managed to buy a big loom, linen yarns, wool, and other needed tools.
While we don’t have a place at the farm Nava Gokula where to put the loom, we have it in our apartment in Brno. Lucia weaves on it. In the beginning, they decided to do gamshas, fabric for kurtas, carpets and progressively wool chadders. They are also in touch with Anirudh prabhu (Ananta Tirtha das, Director of Traditional Technologies, IDVM-India) and would like to visit the Amsu community in Karnataka this summer and learn how to better process wool, weave, and dye with natural pigments.
We also plan to visit other communities in the Czech Republic to see and understand the issue of self-sufficiency in practice.
We work together to figure out how we could live as a community one day and how to help projects in our country. Our vision is how to work together to achieve a result in the form of Krishna conscious community, which can take care of itself and be fully and sincerely situated in Krishna consciousness.
Your sincere servants,
Vojtech & Lucia, Simon & Kristof
Brno, Czech Republic
