Prenatal Art Classes
Pregnancy is a natural time of creativity. The body is busy creating life – the most magical and mysterious creation of all. But it is easy to get caught up in all the choice making and researching of birthing options, education classes, and nursery supplies shopping, and before you know it your pregnancy is almost over and you realize you’ve taken little or no time to just focus inwardly on the miracle of your body and upcoming birth.
Moms-to-be are beautiful and should nourish their minds bodies and babies with lots of pampering, indulgences and unique experiences, such as birth art. Whether it’s journaling, belly casting, painting, or working with clay, it is as raw, honest and spontaneous as birth itself. Expressing your feelings about your pregnancy and upcoming labor and birth can be surprisingly revealing, fear-releasing, and sometimes even healing. An active, gentle exploration process through a variety of art mediums not only brings overlooked resources and strengths to your conscious awareness, but identifies fears and inhibitions that might prevent you from utilizing them.
Your art, like your labor, doesn’t have to be perfect. Gift yourself the opportunity to
slow down and get in touch with your creative energy; you might just surprise yourself!
