Weekly writing sessions for mothers and anyone who identifies with motherhood to process the transition into motherhood through writing and community.
Motherfolk is running a series of writing sessions at Culture House Sunderland, starting Tuesday 10 November and continuing every Tuesday through to 22 December, during term time. It's a seven-session course, so you're signing up for a run rather than a one-off.
Motherfolk was founded by Bethan, who runs weekly mother and baby groups that use writing and community in beautiful settings to support the transition into motherhood. These sessions are open to anyone who self-identifies with mothering or motherhood, and they're built as a gathering place where mothers can write to process that transition, share to support each other, and speak their truth without fear of judgement. The idea is to reclaim the motherhood narrative for themselves.
It's for ages 16 and over, so it's not just for new mums — it's for anyone who fits that description and wants a space to write and talk about it. Because it's a weekly thing, you'll be coming back to the same group over the course of the seven sessions, which is where the community side of it comes in.
