Facilitator: Amanda Honda, MA in Early Childhood Education
A guided time for conversation with parent(s). We will hold space to share the challenges and overwhelming joys of being a parent in this community together.
Day & Time: Coming June 2!
 
Topic 1: Building a Village
What does your village look like? What are your expectations of motherhood? How can we fully realize your hopes and dreams in this community together? What resources are available? How do we find connection intentionally and accidentally?
 
Topic 2: The Third Teacher
The importance of our physical environment: our homes, our outdoor spaces, our community places. How do we create provocations and opportunities for the child and parent to find joy, learning, and growth? Where do you find joy? How do you set up your space and your routine to create opportunities for self-care and rejuvenation?
 
Topic 3: The Grief of Transformation
Parenthood is a transformative time. What griefs are we encountering? What joys are we finding? How can we acknowledge the changes and make peace and space for dual identities?
 
Topic 4: Creating Resilience
What are we doing to foster resilience in our children? What are we doing to foster resilience in ourselves? We acknowledge what we are creating and growing towards together. 
 
Topic 5: Setting Boundaries
What boundaries are we having difficulty with? How do we set boundaries with others? How do we set boundaries with ourselves?  (Could include difficult relationships, creating space in the day, acknowledging unmet expectations)
 
Topic 6: Moving Forward
What are we taking with us moving forward in our journey? Encouraging reflection, introspection, and creating space for acknowledgements
