Art, Prizes, and Inspiring Talks at Bloom Together, a Free Art Workshop by Bahay Turo

To celebrate Women’s Month, an art workshop filled with creativity, self-expression, and community awaited moms and kids at Bahay Turo’s first-ever Meet & Learn event called “Bloom Together Art Workshop”. Held at National Book Store, SM North Edsa on March 22, the Bloom Together Art Workshop was a free event where you can learn all about Bahay Turo, create art, win prizes and bring home gifts.

Bloom Together Art Workshop

Moms were asked to create an artwork featuring their words of affirmation while kids were taught how to make paper flowers. I was seated in front so I ended up answering questions (haha). I was asked about how I would feel when I hear words of affirmation. I answered that it would make me happy to hear these words because of the message they convey. That was the only answer I could think of on the spot but if I had to give a more detailed answer it would be because words hold meaning and power,  when we hear or tell ourselves these words of affirmation, it creeps into our mind until we truly believe and own these words.

I was asked to answer another question because my daughter volunteered for me (she really wanted a prize). My choice of words of affirmation is “I am worthy.” A lot of people may suffer from Imposter Syndrome where they believe that their success is not because of themselves. I’d like to remind ourselves that we are where we are because we deserve it. We should know our worth and never let others, especially our doubts, belittle our achievements.
