This class is for anyone who is passionate about raising up and dismantling limiting myths about motherhood.

In this workshop we will examine pictures of motherhood handed down to us through poetry, pop culture and by examining photos from your own mother figures.

• What do these images tell us about the expectations set upon mothers?

• How do they impact the way that you mother or have been mothered?

We will discuss myths of motherhood, how we can unpack these myths, and what myths, stories and real-life examples we can look to, in order to create liberating stories about what Motherhood can be. I broadly define “myth” to mean ancient mythologies and their descendants in folklore and fairy tales; cultural expectations that pervade Western society; and the myths closest to home, the family stories that you grew up with.
