A circle of connection for mothers and mothering hearts

Mothering can feel like everything, all at once. Beautiful, exhausting, joyful, overwhelming and sometimes incredibly lonely.

Gathered Threads is a gentle evening space to slow down, take a breath and connect with other women who understand the realities of caring for others while trying to hold onto yourself too.

This isn’t about having the answers or getting things “right.” It’s simply a chance to show up as you are.

Together, we’ll share conversation, reflection and connection in a warm and welcoming space. There is no pressure to share, speak or participate in any particular way. You are welcome to simply listen, be present and take some time for yourself.

Whether you’re navigating early motherhood, identity shifts, mental load, loneliness, or simply wanting deeper connection, you are welcome here.

What to expect:

• Small group setting (max 15)
• Gentle guided reflection prompts
• Honest conversation and connection
• A calm, inclusive and supportive atmosphere
• Tea and a cosy evening space
• Sharing is always optional
