THE ART OF MOTHERING with Sarah Whitmore, Seasoned Lead Teacher, Morning Glory Kindergarten

DESCRIPTION:

The Art of Mothering group offers a warm space for conversation and community around the inner life of parenting. 

Together we will form a circle to cultivate self-care and explore the practical and whimsical arts of mothering. We will spark and draw out our parenting wisdom, nurture our sense of humor and kindle a sense of care for one another.  We will remember that raising children was never meant to be done alone. My hope is that our time together strengthens those who carry out the unceasing task of parenting.

Evenings may include exploration, sharing and reflection on parenting themes, and occasional simple artistic activities. Above all, the intention is to create a place where parents can pause, connect, and leave feeling a little more supported on the beautiful, imperfect and demanding path of raising children in our time.
