Brought to you by First 5 Lambeth’s Activities Carousel, in our first part of the series we will be inviting expectant mums and new mums to a creative sanctuary to unite and share experiences through mindful art.

We will have open, non-judgemental discussions in a safe and creative space. We will be creating some art to help reflect on our thoughts of pregnancy, parenting and everything else in-between (no art skills required). Mothers carry so much both physically and mentally and sometimes we don’t have anyone to talk to about it or unsure how to get the words out. These sessions give the chance for mums to connect with others who do understand and is facilitated by Kim: a mother and arts practitioner from Art4Space. Come as you are!

Includes FREE baby starter kit to take home and refreshments throughout the session.
