Tending the Wounds with the Balm of Art

Tending the Wounds with the Balm of Art

In my own personal birth and motherhood journey, I notice there are still places, memories and sensations within my body that could use a little more tending, love and care. In Adorning the Heart of the Mother, we will devote some time to connect with these places, to give them some attention through a healing painting journey. 

I find that in a safe place with support, my body is often ready and relieved to be invited to share her experience through visual, non-verbal expression. I love painting with watercolors because the water element helps me access my subconscious flow in such a pure way. 

Connecting with some of our struggles and wounds in the supportive environment of a small group of fellow mothers will serve to remind us that we are each not so alone, and we can weave a collective web of healing through the sharing and expression of our experience.
