Mindfulness Group for Mothers (Sep-Oct)

Hey mama (experienced or expectant),

Motherhood is a journey unlike any other, marked by a constant rollercoaster of emotions that can leave one exhilarated, exhausted, and everything in between. From the moment a woman discovers she's expecting, her emotions may swing wildly, fluctuating between excitement and apprehension, joy and fear. It is easy to lose focus of the present and ourselves in this whirlpool of emotions.

In the last quarter of the year, take time to discover the power of true mindfulness, embracing emotional awareness and creating space to authentically experience every moment as you navigate the rewarding yet challenging seasons of pregnancy and postpartum.

Explore mindfulness through guided education, immersive practices (including breath work, meditation, and journaling), and conclude with empowering self-reflection and communal sharing.

DETAILS:

This mindfulness group runs on Fridays, 20 & 27 September, and 11 & 18 October 2024, from 10am to 1130am.

Please note that we will be taking a break on 4 October 2024 (as it is Children's Day).
