Description

A Nourishing 2 hours to find solidarity, awareness, acceptance and growth in a supportive nurturing environment. It takes a village to raise a child but when there is no village we must build our own, because parenting was never meant to be done in such isolation and you are inherently worthy of support and belonging on your parenting journey.

Expect breathwork, mindful movement, sharing circles, many cups of tea, kinship and a safe non judgemental place to belong.

Bring your children (or not) they play but this is not about entertaining them, life is entertaining enough, you the parent are inherently deserving of nourishment. You are inherently good enough and in this space we will nurture and celebrate all of our "good enoughness"

THINGS TO BRING IF YOU REMEMBER BUT NO WORRIES IF YOU FORGET :Please bring a cushion or a blanket for you to sit on. Whilst the space is beautiful it would be comfier with a cushion! (chairs will also be available if you have mobility issues). I’m not sure on the crockery situation so please bring a kiddy bowl if you remember.

The Vibes

This is a space for sharing and space holding, empathy, friendship, solidarity and growth.

These sessions are rooted in the belief that each parent and each child is fundamentally good enough and is worthy of belonging.

The space is open and inclusive to all parents and primary caregivers. This is not a typical stay and play as it's focus is on the parent so it’s not suitable for nannies, au pairs or childminders.

You are responsible for your children at all times in the space.

Your Children are Welcome Just as they Are

Crying and tantrums are very welcome here. If a child needs to cry or have a tantrum in the session that is because they needed to cry/ release overwhelm from their bodies. Both of these are good things and all of this is welcome. Feeding and nappy changing are very welcome. If children want to sit on your laps when we move into the circle that's ok, if they don't that's also ok...It's all good.

Circles

This is a sharing space where the facilitators will collaborate too. When we gather in Circles we break down power over hierarchies. Guest speakers will come to talks and Q and A but ultimately you are also an expert- an expert in your unique self and your unique child. Throughout each session we will be mindful of how we can all grow into good space holders and provide solidarity for each other. Everything is consent based you don't have to share if you don't want to

Food And Drink Included in your ticket price is a cup of tea and biscuit (gluten free/ vegan options available) for you and a fruit/ veg snack for your child (apples/ carrots/ tangerines etc) we will be asking for help tidying up and serving in the spirit of community. You may bring your child snacks of their own but please no nuts.

Allergies- we know that it can be incredibly isolating to be a parent who has children with allergies and as such if a parent is concerned about allergens in the space please let us know and we will do what we can to make sure this is a safe inclusive environment for your child. As an allergy mum myself I get it, so let us know if we can make the space feel safer for you.

48 Hour notice for refunds or exchanges but if you can't make it you can exchange with another parent and email me to let me know who will be coming in your place.
