MotherFolk by Candlelight - Heaton: Winter Wants

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 about winter narratives, and how it feels when they're at odds with our reality. If you have found yourself longing for the sound of a crackling fire, the feel of soft blankets over cold toes, the smell of cinnamon, and the glow of Christmas lights on small faces, but instead are feeling the weight of overwhelming expectations - this is a place to release the pressure, give yourself grace, and meet yourself exactly as you are.
