We are very excited to be offering you this workshop, a collective exploration into our womb consciousness through meditation and painting. You can expect an incredibly nurturing, held, loved and supported circle of sisterhood. We will have beautiful and powerful meditations guided by the wonderful Georgie Catling, Author, Creatrix and Womb Alchemist and the creator of the Yoni Oracle cards @yonioracle www.yonioraclecards.com Together we will create a painting from our womb consciousness on a huge piece of canvas on the floor, guided by Holly Woodnutt a visionary womb artist, transpersonal womb art therapist and menstruality mentor @sineadholly_wombportalstudio www.sineadhollywoodnutt.com You do not need any painting experience whatsoever, as you shall be guided throughout the process. It is truly incredible what happens when we paint this way! Carl Jung coined the phrase 'collective unconsciousness' to describe how we all connect to each other in many ways when we are in the same room. Inspired by this, and the results from womb painting and womb work, Holly has coined the phrase 'collective womb unconsciousness' to describe when we sit together how our wombs start to communicate. This is what we shall witness together when we paint and it is incredibly powerful in so many ways. At the end of the day the womb painting will be cut up and you shall all get a piece to take home with you, forever bonded and connected through the magnificence of our wombs.

Bristol Art For All

Bristol

My name is Amy Powell and I am a catalyst for reconnecting people with their innate creativity. At Bristol Art For All we facilitate friendly, inclusive learning environments where people can explore their creativity. We started in 2015 running an open access drop in face-to-face community art class in Easton in Bristol. From December 2019 to March 2020 sessions moved to Hamilton House in Stokes Croft Bristol and since April 2020 have been online. Online sessions are run in partnership with local charities as well as sessions open to all adults. Current partners include Age UK and St Mungo’s Recovery College. All online sessions are around a theme selected by the participants, who use the art materials and skills they already have to devise their own projects. Support is on hand to give input on what is made. The sessions act as an online art studio with time for making and opportunities to share and get feedback on artwork. Participants are seen as artists first with the acceptance that we are all on our own life journeys. The focus is on creating learning environments where people enjoy the process of making. With this strong foundation people can have the confidence and resilience to develop further skills. This website gives a taste of the work made over the course of Bristol Art For All. Myself and Rosa Hewitt began Bristol Art For All in 2015. In 2017 Rosa went to the University of Hertfordshire to study Art Therapy. She now works in London as an art therapist with children. I continued with the project in Bristol with the support of volunteers, building my knowledge, experience and skills by studying courses in teaching, facilitation, communication and social enterprise. As well as volunteering with Arts and Health organisations including Studio Upstairs, Bristol Art on Prescription, Workers Education Association (WEA), Milestones Expressions programme and St Mungos Recovery College where I currently run their online art class. I love being a catalyst for people to reconnect with their creativity. It is a great privilege to have worked with over 200 people across Bristol and beyond. Some have attended for years others for one session but all have been welcome and encouraged in their art making. I am currently in the process of making Bristol Art For All into an online art school to reach people who would otherwise struggle to access mainstream arts education. I am interested to connect with organisations, which work with clients who would benefit from exploring and developing their creativity with the support of being in a group.
