Simmering Impressions
SiiM is the mindful and relaxing sustainable fashion adventure.
Helping reconnect to the original bond of body, mind, and environment
through textiles.
The awareness of the fashion industry's contribution to the environmental damage was the push to create Simmering Impressions - SiiM.
SiiM reconnects to the real value of textiles through a tactile and intuitive practice, giving a new emotional connection to our clothes and inviting changing habits. For a relaxed sustainable fashion and creative experience.
The meditative, mindful textile workshops provide an atmosphere of soothing solace where participants feel balanced and empowered in their fashion and creative experience and in their bodies.
The founder of SiiM is Cristina Nicotra, a multi-passionate textile artist born in Milano and based in Dublin for years.
SiiM was born from the desire to answer to the climate crisis using the skills from her family's tailoring tradition and the yoga philosophy that led her life.
The meaning of SiiM name
Our conscious actions have impact on our mind, each leaving an impression.
This memories deposited in the unconscious will be constantly recalled leaving a deeper and stronger impression, which is becoming a habit.
This is what is called Samskara, that it is believed to be the base of Karma.
These habits are actions influencing the world around us or thoughts influencing our mind.
We want to understand our deeper impressions, or habits, and choose consciously if they are negative and get rid or change them.
Yoga has some indications on how to positively deal with our impressions, mostly matching with what currently we call sustainable living.
In general we are all dealing with our impressions to have a better and fuller life.
We are all simmering our impressions.
