M/OTHERWORDS

What M/OTHERWORDS says

Welcome to M/OTHERWORDS. We run online reading groups that help mothers, and others, make sense of motherhood.

M/OTHERWORDS groups are a bit like a book group, without the reading a whole book part! Plus babies and children are welcome.

We bring to you lovingly-selected writings on motherhood – from light-hearted to reassuring, and serious to inspiring and surprising. Poems, extracts from memoirs, novels and journals, we refer to both the historical and the cultural. We take on writers who are well-known as well as the less often found.

Delve into the words of writers who have captured their experiences and thoughts on motherhood and enrich your day!

You can easily join in whilst caring for your baby and children. The groups are warm, friendly and relaxed. There will be a chance to hear from others and share your thoughts in a small break-out group, if you wish, or simply listen in. You don’t need to be a bookworm or book expert! The facilitator, Rebecca, will comment on the writings, and there will be pointers for discussion.

We have lots of free one-off sessions running throughout the year, or you can book on to one of our four week reading groups via our website: www.motherwords.org
