Birth Wisdom Through Art & Meditation (Virtual Only)
2025-08-03 10:30 - 11:30 | Renown Virtual Class Only, NV, United States
This immersive Birth Art & Meditation class is designed to help you explore your emotions, fears, and inner wisdom about birth through guided meditation and creative expression.
Using the unique approach from Birthing from Within, this class encourages self-discovery, emotional processing, and intuitive birth preparation in a safe and supportive space.
We begin with a 20-minute guided meditation to calm the mind, deepen focus, and open the creative flow. Through gentle visualization, you will connect with your inner strength and intuition, setting the stage for meaningful artistic exploration.
Following meditation, you will engage in Birth Art, using colors, symbols, and imagery to express your thoughts and feelings about birth.
These guided activities will help you:

Explore your beliefs and expectations about birth.
Identify and transform fears into empowerment.
Discover personal symbols of strength and resilience.

No art experience is necessary—this is about process NOT perfection, allowing creativity to reveal insights words alone cannot express.
What You’ll Gain from This Class:

A deeper emotional connection to your pregnancy and birth journey.
Tools to process fears and build confidence.
A space to reflect.
A newfound appreciation for your intuition and creativity.

Join us for this transformative experience and tap into the wisdom that already exists within you.
