A Safe Space for Mothers*to Share and Connect in Berlin

EVERY FOURTH THURSDAY AT 19:30

Talking about our challenges as a mother* is not easy and often frowned upon.

Not all motherhood* moments are surrounded by this beautiful glow as is portrayed in typical motherhood* imagery.

Come and exchange with a group of moms* just like you around the complex web of physical, emotional and psychological changes motherhood* brings to our lives. As a visual artist, I will be using my current work "Good Enough" to open up and facilitate the conversation. "Good Enough" consists of interviews and photographs about immigrant mothers* in Germany suffering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorder - PMADs.

Sessions could include a brief presentation of what matrescence and PMADs are about, a discussion and group sharing experiences using the photographs to illustrate the challenges we are facing as mothers*.

Several themes may be discussed, depending on your current needs, such as: Multiple Conflicting Identities as FLINTA*- mother*- partner - stay-at-home - worker, Relationships & Sharing the Load, Body Changes: the physicality of being a mother*, Motherhood*: a full spectrum of emotions, Intrusive Thoughts, Coping Mechanisms, Mom*'s Guilt, Mom*'s Competition, Expectations and Pressures, Self-Care...

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you as a peer at:

Einhorn Familienzentrum - Fredersdorfer Str. 10, 10243 Berlin.

Please note: This group will be conducted in English and is open to anyone who considers themselves a mother* or primary caretaker of all age children regardless of gender identity or family structure who would like to share their stories and experiences in a safe space.
