The Art of Motherhood: Creative Workshop & Social Event [Child friendly event]

"Her spark wasn’t going to be lost to motherhood, it was going to be found."

Join Mia Slattery from Kinected Collective (Birth/ Postpartum Doula & Multidisciplinary Creative) and Ange Castillo from Embodied Me (Intuitive Occupational Therapist & Multidisciplinary Creative) for The Art of Motherhood: Child friendly sessions, a creative sanctuary designed for the woman immersed in the role of mother who is ready to carve out time for themselves and the spark that has been dormant for too long.

We'll guide you through artistic practices that can be replicated and explored further at home with your kids, so the creative exploration is as much for you as it for them.

In a world that often demands we 'do' more, we invite you to simply 'be.'

This workshop is a safe, child friendly space to explore motherhood as a creative practice. This workshop is about reconnecting with your creative rhythm and taking home practical tips and tricks on how to reintroduce a spark of creativity into your life.

Using the intersection of intuitive movement, sensory-conscious design, and low-stakes art, we will set fire to the creative spark that is ready to be lit within every mama.
