A gentle, welcoming space for mothers to meet, connect, and feel less alone. Mothers Meeting Mothers is a monthly community gathering created to support real connection between mothers and mother-figures, in all seasons and stages of motherhood. This is about mothers meeting other mothers and others mothering in whatever season of mothering they find themselves in.

These sessions alternate between:

• Daytime gatherings with or without children in tow, and

• Evening gatherings without children, offering space to connect as yourself, beyond the caregiving role.

Each session holds something different but usually a creative activity of some description ensues. Though you may simply sit and enjoy the company! You are welcome to talk, listen, sit quietly, or simply be in the room with others who understand. Each month there will be a craft activity on offer.

The space is intentionally inclusive of diverse identities, family structures, cultures, neurotypes, and parenting journeys. All are welcome.

While formal services play an important role, many parents need accessible, relationship-based spaces that support wellbeing and connection. Mothers Meeting Mothers aims to respond directly to this need by offering consistent, low-barrier opportunities for connection that support emotional wellbeing, social inclusion, and community resilience.

These sessions are hosted by Radiant Birth owner Josie Hipwell and held at Balam Balam Place in Brunswick.
