Who It's For: Parents with infants aged 0-1 year
This is a closed cohort, meaning the same group of parents will meet each week, creating a safe, familiar, and supportive space to share, learn, and connect.
What to Expect
Each session blends structured content and open discussion, offering a balance of mindfulness, expert guidance, and peer support to meet the evolving needs of early parenthood.
Session Flow:
Gentle mindful breathing
Welcoming & introductions
Weekly discussion topic
Sharing & open dialogue
Q&A & closing reflections
This group is low-pressure and come-as-you-are: Babies in arms, pajamas welcome—however you show up is enough. Feel free to eat a meal, sip your coffee, breastfeed, bottle-feed, or take care of yourself as needed while you participate. This is a space to connect with other parents navigating a similar journey, without the need to have it all figured out. Give yourself the gift of support, from the ease of your own space.
