Tuesday evenings 7-9pm starting 3 June

Maternal Journal provides a positive outlet for some of the feelings and challenges you might experience, both physically and emotionally, in pregnancy and new parenthood. The workshops introduce the practice of ‘journalling’ as a creative way to express feelings, reflect on experiences and promote good mental health and wellbeing. Each week we will be inspired by different journalling prompts in a small group setting in the beautiful Sudley Walled Garden. 

An art journal will be provided on the first session, as well as all art materials and tea and biscuits.  No experience or creativity is necessary; it’s all about the process, connection and time. Please note that the project can generate strong feelings, and therefore is not recommended for people with a history of, or current, serious mental health issue.

Maternal Journal Liverpool is an inclusive and safe space for anyone who has experienced pregnancy, given birth, identifies as a mother or as a woman or non-binary carer. Babes in arms are welcome to join us. 

The group will run for 6 weeks, starting on Tuesday 3 June. You should ideally be able to attend all 6 sessions for the benefit of you and the group.
