The Mama Village

About the Event

Our mission is to foster a nurturing and empowering environment where new moms can thrive, grow, and build lasting friendships. Each session will be led by expert facilitators with extensive experience in early parenthood, ensuring that you receive professional guidance and support throughout the program. You can sign up for one session, or join for the whole 6 weeks!

Detailed Descriptions:

9/17 Welcome & Flow: Gentle Movement and Meditation
Join us for a heartwarming welcome to the Mama Village series. Each session begins with gentle seated movements designed to open up your energy and create a harmonious space. We’ll then transition into a soothing sound bowl meditation to center ourselves. The session will conclude with a circle share, allowing participants to connect and support one another through open-hearted conversation. This foundational class sets the tone for a nurturing and supportive series.

9/24 Birth Story Circles
In this session, we create a sacred space for sharing and reflecting on our birth stories. Through guided discussion, we’ll explore the powerful experiences of bringing new life into the world. Sharing these stories can be both healing and empowering, offering insight and connection with fellow mamas who have walked similar paths. This circle is a chance to celebrate, process, and find solace in our collective experiences.

10/1 Mental Health and Motherhood
Navigating the journey of motherhood can bring a range of emotions and challenges. This session focuses on mental health and well-being, providing tools and support to manage stress, anxiety, and postpartum feelings. We’ll discuss strategies for self-care, mindfulness practices, and resources for emotional support, helping you to thrive both mentally and emotionally as a mama.

10/8 Pelvic Floor Recovery Flow
This class is dedicated to understanding and nurturing your pelvic floor health post-birth. We’ll guide you through a gentle flow that focuses on strengthening and rehabilitating your pelvic floor, with an emphasis on comfort and safety. Learn effective exercises and techniques to support your body’s recovery and enhance overall well-being.

10/15 Breastfeeding, Bottle Feeding, Weaning & Solids
Explore the essentials of feeding your little one in this informative session. We’ll cover topics ranging from breastfeeding and bottle feeding to weaning and introducing solids. This class provides practical advice, tips, and community support to help you navigate the evolving feeding journey with confidence and ease.

10/22 Expressive Art and Closing Circle
In our final session, we embrace creativity and expression through art. This workshop encourages you to explore your emotions and experiences through collaging and vision board creation. We’ll conclude the series with a closing circle, where we reflect on our shared journey, celebrate our growth, and reinforce the bonds formed within the Mama Village.


Sessions will be interactive, encouraging open dialogue and the sharing of personal experiences. We believe in the power of connection, and through our sessions, we aim to foster an inclusive and non-judgmental atmosphere where all moms can feel supported and understood.

In addition to the sessions, we will provide valuable resources, including handouts, recommended readings, and access to an online forum where you can continue connecting with fellow moms beyond the program’s duration. We understand that motherhood is an ongoing journey, and we strive to be there for you every step of the way.
