Come as you are! For baby/toddler Gatherings, bring your usual baby bag essentials — nappies, wipes, spare clothes, feeds and anything your little one particularly needs. For pregnancy or embodied sessions, comfy clothes and water are perfect. We’ll let you know if there’s anything specific needed for your Gathering.

Absolutely. In fact, that’s one of the biggest reasons the Gatherings exist. You don’t need to arrive with a friend or already have a “mum tribe”. Come exactly as you are and find your Village.

Then your baby is being a perfectly healthy baby. Feed, cuddle, change, walk around, step outside, arrive flustered — none of it is a problem. This is a mother-and-baby-friendly space, we are not gathering to create 5 star relaxation experience, we are gathering to support each other through the up's and the down's and we are learning the tools to keep ourselves regulated, present and compassionate with ourselves through it all.

Of course. Feed your baby however you feed your baby, whenever they need it. You’re welcome to change, settle, cuddle or tend to them throughout. Our spaces are intentionally created to promote inclusivity, community, diversity and non-judgement.

Not at all. Everything is designed to be welcoming and accessible. You are invited to participate in whatever way feels right for you and our sessions are planned to cater for those participating in line with what season of Motherhood we are moving through. Embodied Therapy is an all levels class and modifications will aways be provided to suit all stages of practise.

It depends on the gathering, but for our motherhood sessions expect a gentle blend of connection, conversation and nurturing practices. That might include movement, relaxation, sensory or nature play, antenatal education, mindfulness, tea, snacks and plenty of space simply to be together. Embodied Therapy is a yoga class where we will explore a gentle blend of movement and relaxation with breathwork, guided meditations and restorative techniques.

While most gatherings are intentionally mother-focused, others may welcome partners. Check the individual Gathering details before booking, or get in touch and we’ll be happy to help. Siblings children are welcome but please do get in touch to keep us informed for number and planning purposes.

Our Gatherings take place across our Aberdeenshire locations, including the Yurt and the Hut. You’ll find the location, session time, availability and booking details on the relevant Gathering page — choose the one that feels right for your season and come join the Village or reach out for assistance while booking.

That's even more reason to come find the Village of Mothers also walking the path. There’s no expectation to arrive feeling happy, confident or put together. Our spaces are designed for real motherhood including the messy, lonely and overwhelming bits too. You don't have to do any of it alone, reach out for a chat and we'll make a plan to help you move through the anxiety of getting yourself to the gatherings.
