The Village Mothers’ Groups

Welcome to our 6-week program starting:

Monday 28th April 10am-12pm for 6 weeks

Biology never intended for us to mother our babies on our own. Mothers deserve to be surrounded by others walking the path of early motherhood - sharing, connecting and supporting.

We're excited to announce The Village Mothers’ Group; a six week course designed just for you and your bub (babies aged 6 weeks to 9 months).

Each week, we'll be joined by a different Collective Practitioner to share invaluable knowledge, provide support, and help you thrive as a mum. This will then be followed by time to connect, for babies to play and for you to have tea and share the ups and downs of motherhood.

Welcome to our Village Mothers' Group
