Wild Mothers
Wild Mothers is a wilderness therapeutic programme designed to support the mental health and wellbeing of mothers navigating the joys and challenges of the fourth trimester. Ellie and her colleague Dorka invite you to reconnect with nature in a peaceful and private woodland, spending mindful hours outdoors as part of a small group of mothers. The three hour sessions are designed to allow space for exploring your experience of matrescence through group discussions, gentle therapeutic invitations, grounding exercises and meditation.
Who is it for?
Wild Mothers is suitable for mothers with pre-mobile babies who are looking for a small, supportive and inclusive community where honest and raw discussion about the individual experiences of motherhood is encouraged. The sessions are designed in a way that enable mothers to come along with their babies but you are also welcome to attend without.
Where: Wild Mothers takes place in a private woodland on the edge of the village of Hardwick, about a 15-20 minute drive from the city of Cambridge. For those without a car, we try our best to find ways to carpool. Exact address will be shared with participants after sign up.
When: Wild Mothers is a six week long programme. Sessions will take place starting at 10am and finishing at 1pm each time unless otherwise specified. The dates for the next programme are: Thursday 30 July, Thursday 6 August, Thursday 13 August, Thursday 20 August, Thurday 27 Augut and Saturday 5 September.
