Arts and Community Workshop, Terrific success!
Our first Birthing Bodies Arts and Community Workshop was a great success, thank you so much to the phenomenal teachers and passionate, creative participants! Thank you to the Culture Mill for providing the beautiful Haw River Ballroom to house the workshop, check out their amazing programing at culturemill.org. Through personal stories, Circle singing, and non-verbal play, non-dancers and dancers alike experienced the creative process surrounding motherhood. Look for our next workshop coming in May.
