We meet for 6 weeks for 2 hours. Through art, sharing and movement we create space for sharing and receiving and become part of a community of others sharing the experience of pregnancy and becoming a mother. Activities such as yoga, breathwork, relaxation techniques, and birth art are some of what's included. The circle is for 10 women. Lactation consultant and Doula guest speaker Virginia Alonso will be joining us.

Birth Art Workshops
Join our Birth Art Workshop in Schiedam, where pregnant women prepare for birth through creative expression, movement and mindful reflection.
Birth Art is a gentle, two-hour workshop designed to support women through pregnancy and birth. It's an opportunity to explore the inner landscape of birth through creativity and reflection. These sessions offer a calming, nourishing space to pause, express, and make sense of the changes unfolding within you—and the powerful journey ahead. No art experience is needed—this is not about creating a masterpiece. It’s about the process, the expression, and what it reveals. Come with an open heart and curious mind, and discover what it means to birth from within.
