About the event
The Circle for Mums provides a positive outlet for some of the feelings and challenges you might experience, both physically and emotionally in pregnancy and parenthood. Through a series of creative circles, we will explore the practice of journaling to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
One of the best things about journaling in a group is sharing a safe space to connect with other people. By exploring our emotions, thoughts and experiences in a creative way, we get to be vulnerable and connect with each other through the language of art.
Each session is guided by a different creative journaling exercise, including poetry and prose writing to collage, drawing and painting.
The group is facilitated by me, Lisa Quinney, Perinatal Counsellor, mother of two, and passionate creative. I provide 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.
Please be aware that strong feelings can emerge during the group workshops, and they are not recommended for people with a history of severe mental illness.

I currently work with a sliding scale price point for my circles, workshops and events. If you feel you

information to help you.
Please note: The sliding scale offer is in place to fairly assist women in accessing my services, but who
