THE JOURNAL CIRCLE

In the early months of motherhood, life is a dizzying mix of wonder, joy, exhaustion, and transformation. From poonamis to persistent wake-ups, it’s easy to lose touch with ourselves and feel like we’re navigating it all alone. 

This season asks so much of us - whether we’re entering motherhood for the first or fifth time - and yet there are so few groups that give mums the space to be heard and held. Alongside the usual baby massage and baby sensory classes, there’s a real need for groups that nurture and support us mamas, too.

And this is just that.

The Mum & Baby Journal Circle is a gentle, nourishing space where, over five weeks, you’ll be guided through a range of journalling practices, mum & baby meditations, and mindful movement.

What’s included:

🌿 5 weeks of deep nourishment, relaxation & connection

🫶🏼 90 minutes in circle with other mamas each week 

🙏🏼 Beautiful mum & baby meditations

✍️ Guided journalling practices exploring a different theme of motherhood each week - from identity to mum guilt

☕️ A warming cup of Yogi Tea to sip during our Word Circle Ritual

😌 Gentle movement to calm the nervous system

✨ A free journal to use throughout the sessions and take home with you

Who it’s for:

• Mamas with babies in the pre-crawling stage 
• Those interested in exploring different styles of journalling as a way to help them process the motherload
• Mums seeking connection with themselves, their baby, and a supportive community of other mamas 

What to bring:

• A blanket for your baby to lie on
• Journals & pens will be provided, but you’re very welcome to bring your own journal if you prefer
• Any baby essentials or toys they might want to play with throughout the session

FAQs:

What age range of babies is this group suitable for?

This group is designed for pre-crawling babies - typically from newborn up to around 7-10 months.

Can I join if I’m not a first-time mum?

Absolutely. Each baby brings new experiences, challenges, and joys - so it doesn’t matter if this is your first or your fifth!

Can I feed and change my baby during the sessions?

Of course! Feel free to feed, change, and comfort your baby at any point. The space is designed to be relaxed and responsive to both you and your baby’s needs.

Is there space for prams?

There’s not a lot of room for prams, so please bring your baby either in their car seat, sling, or carry them inside.

Where can I park?

There is lots of free roadside parking just outside.

Is it accessible by bus or train?

Yes, Crabble Avenue bus stop is a 2 minute walk away. Kearsney station is a 25 minute walk away and Dover Priory station is a 30 minute walk away.
