Motherhood Collage Workshop: Paper Wings

Ever wondered who you’ve become since stepping into motherhood? Longing for a moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the woman inside the mother?Join us for a transformative afternoon of creative reflection at Storyholding Studio, nestled within the enchanting grounds of Montsalvat, Eltham. This unique five hour workshop is co-facilitated by Rochelle Van Der Merwe (Storyholding) and Jodie Garth (Cherish & Bloom), a collage artist and ICF-accredited Mama Rising motherhood coach.In this gentle, welcoming space, you’ll be introduced to the concept of matrescence-----the profound, often hidden process of becoming a mother. Matrescence isn’t just a single transition; it’s an ongoing unfolding that is experienced through every stage of motherhood.All mothers are welcome. Whether your first child is still a baby, you’re pregnant with your third, you have school-aged children or teens, or you now find yourself navigating an empty nest, this workshop is for you. Here, you’ll be invited to reflect on your unique motherhood journey and the layers of self that continue to shift and grow.Guided by the metaphor of cocoons, butterflies, and transformation, you’ll explore your personal story through a butterfly-themed collage activity. Using a specially curated selection of Jodie Garth's signature painted papers and Rochelle's collection of vintage books, papers, and ephemera, you’ll create a tangible piece of art that celebrates your many layers and evolving identity.No previous art experience is needed. You’ll be gently guided step by step, with space to share (if you wish) and connect with other mothers walking their own paths.Leave with a renewed sense of self, a beautiful artwork to take home, and perhaps a little more grace for the journey ahead.Gift yourself (or a mother you love) this precious opportunity to slow down, create, and come home to yourself.About the matrescence collage workshop:
