MotherFolk by Candlelight - Alnmouth: Selfhood

Introducing MotherFolk by Candlelight: adults-only writing circles for mothers at every stage. Using writing, community, and candlelight to put down our motherhoods in the heart of the winter hustle. Motherhood evolves, but the need to be held never ends. MotherFolk by Candlelight offers childcare-free gatherings designed to give you uninterrupted space created entirely for you and your feelings. Whether you’re the mother of a baby, a toddler, a child, a teenager, or even a grown-up - MotherFolk by Candlelight wants to hear your story. This circle is all about selfhood. This time of year sweeps us up into hustling and bustling to make Christmas magic for everyone else. This circle is purely for you. As mothers, identities that we held before, fall into hibernation. New identities are waking. Together, we will explore our selfhoods through the lens of the coastline just outside. Are there parts of your motherhood that are fragmented, like a shell turned to sand? Or are you the pulsing of the waves on the shore, capable of tranquillity and rage in equal measure?
