LISTENING MOTHERS
GROUP
|
|
The Listening Mothers groups offer a unique
opportunity for parents to encounter the joy of parenting. The
research based curriculum will turn the present moment into a pleasant
moment.
The 8-week course is designed for parent and baby
birth to six months old and offers:
 | Easy to master mindful-based skills that help
reduce stress, increase sense of well being, and enhance connection
with your baby. |
| A non-judgemental and safe environment for you
to discover and share your own inner wisdom as a parent. |
| An opportunity to learn how to better read and
interpret your baby/child’s cues and behaviors, and the impact on
the parent-child relationship from experienced facilitators who are
trained in Healthy Emotional Development. |
| The tools to learn the value of self
regulation – skillful ways of staying calm in the face of the storm. |
| Teachings that show you a way of being with
your baby/child that is effective, nurturing, trust-building, and
joyful. |
| A community of like minded supportive parents
who, like yourself, aspire to be the best parent they can be and are
willing to embark on the parenting journey with open mind,
curiosity, and willingness to explore. |

especially compelled by working with mothers and babies to invite the
innate wisdom residing in each being to support a dance of love, joy,
learning and reciprocity.

their understanding and mirror for them their beauty. She feels
