Thrive is a mothers group with a difference. This group is all about, and for you, and your experience of transitioning into being a mum. Whether this is your first child, or you are adding to your family with more children, we welcome you.

We welcome you to attend with your babies up to approximately 6 months of age. It is a 6 week reflective discussion and mindfulness practice group, a confidential and open sharing space. This series has a half day (4 hour) practice retreat on 6 August 10-2pm.

Together we will cultivate resilience, learn communication, consent skills and mindfulness tools that will make a positive difference to your daily life.

Mindfulness practice has been proven to:

- increases one's ability to cope with stress, regulate emotions, and attune to others (Shapiro and Carlson 2009)

- increases resilience, self-esteem, compassion, and overall well-being (Astin 1997; Feldman et al. 2007; Kabat-Zinn et al. 1985; Shapiro et al. 1998, 2005, 2007)

CONNECT with others and co-create this intimate container with us. Give yourself the support you deserve as a new mum as we integrate and make meaning out of the very personal and yet universal experience of becoming a mother.
