EMBRYOLOGY IN CLAY
Kim Murriera
Midwife Terri Nash and Creative Arts Therapist Kim Murriera offer a special workshop exploring the process of embryology through clay.
From a single disc of clay we partake in sculpting the profound metamorphosis of the first four weeks of Life. This is an invitation to engage in a hands-on learning experience of our gestational journey and gain insight into this profound process.
Terri Nash
Participants will learn in detail major landmarks of embryological development in the first four weeks of gestation by:
- Gaining a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems.
- Learning in depth processes that govern conception and implantation of the developing embryo.
- Creating a clay model of an embryo that metamorphically displays the physiological development of the first four weeks of human gestation.
Workshop Options:
Full Day Workshop
Two Half Day Workshops
* Entering Form and Coming of Age can be scheduled as companion workshops.
