To me, community includes a variety of people who generally do life together. They live near one another, work together, and gather together. Community can be as small as the people in your personal circle or as vast as anyone you encounter. To take it even further, what makes a community strong and genuine is when we build up and support each other no matter individual beliefs, backgrounds, faiths, or family dynamics. Surrounding yourself with only like-minded people can put you in an echo chamber that limits your ability to grow and learn as a person. A genuine community does not exile those with different values or ways of thinking or living, but rather embraces how they work together for the betterment of everyone.
Our Monthly Pregnancy Circle is a place for all our pregnant clients to gather together and learn from each other and build their community of other families who are going through the same thing.
We discuss topic's that you select and let us know that you would like to go over, book suggestions, trimester specific suggestions, how to not 'loose yourself,' nutrition, new baby care and or whatever else is coming up for you.
This group is for Kooshlie Care clients, but is open to the public as well, if you are not a Kooshlie Care client we are asking for a $5 donation when you join us.
Mommy Pump and Dump is a gathering place and support group for all the mom's out there who are working, or simply need a break. This is always held on the last Saturday of the month at 4 pm.
This is a peer led support group with a doula present to offer insight into different situations. You can come build your community of other mom's, it doesn't not matter the age of your children.
Take a few hours off and enjoy some snack and beverages with other mom's. You are welcome to talk through your birth stories, parenting joys and whoa's (yes, I spelled it like I meant too.)
We are here to build up each other, provide new and old friends who are on the same journey together. When we are in the thick of our parenting journey it can feel very much like we are alone and the only one who can do the job... Like Frodo. At this group I hope you find your 'Samwise Gamgee' or you find that you become that support for someone else.
