Join Amy and three of the leading Mama Rising Facilitators for inspiring and informative online event in which we ask:
What would the world look like if we had mother-centred communities?
Covering a brand-new community-based support group for new mamas in the US, public policy and government support beyond mother's circles in Australia, and a return to mother-led leadership in Kenya.
This nearly-2 hour online event is both an inspirational insight into what's changing in the world for mothers... and a chance for you to honour your own experience of motherhood.
THIS IS A REPLAY RECORDING OF THE LIVE EVENT.
