A morning for expectant mothers who want a calm, supportive space to reflect on their pregnancy and prepare emotionally alongside others in a similar stage.
Led by Stine, a priest and doula, and Astrid Berg Østergaard, a poet and anthropologist, the session combines letter writing with shared conversation. You will write a letter to your unborn child and another to your partner or to yourself, then come together to talk about your thoughts.
- Small group of between 4 and 8 participants
- First-time mothers are invited from 30 weeks; those expecting again are welcome from an earlier stage
- Stine draws on her experience running mothers', pregnancy and fertility circles at the church
- Astrid is writing her master's thesis on emotional support during pregnancy and will turn statements from the day, shared anonymously, into a long poem that participants receive afterwards
- Taking part in the poem project is optional; you are welcome to attend without contributing
