Creative Journalling
Exploring Matrescence and M/Otherhood
Weekly and monthly workshops designed for m/others, pregnant people and m/others to be.
Using creative workshops, we will explore the history and practice of journalling to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
Inspired by artists, writers and thinkers, we will explore a range of forms – from collage, drawing, mark making, poetry and creative writing.
The course can provide an outlet for some of the feelings and challenges you might experience both physically and emotionally in pregnancy and parenthood.
We will also hold space for village thinking and discussion around matrescence - the metamorphosis that occurs in m/otherhood, and the current culture we live in.
No experience is needed.
The workshops are adult centred but children are welcome with you.
All art materials are provided, you will just need to bring a journal or you can buy one at the session.
