Mothers Wellbeing Circle

**Monthly wellbeing & meditation circle for women who have experienced birth or perinatal trauma / difficulties**

Once a month come together with other women to talk, share, laugh and be. This women's circle is an informal yet private sacred space where we can connect and talk about our experiences, our realities and be heard without judgment or any need to justify. The group circle provides opportunities to connect with other mums and share your own experiences, taking time to engage in a lovely simple meditation and journaling exercises.

The sessions will consist of: -Welcome -Chat -Journaling -Meditation / Guided Relaxation / Laughter Yoga / Yoga Nidra
