MOTHERFOLK

Our Writing Circles are weekly mother & baby groups, using writing & community to support the transition into motherhood.

The circles are open to anyone who self-identities with mothering or motherhood, whatever way that looks.

Gathering in beautiful places to write and connect, our circles offer a soulful space to witness your journey into motherhood. We provide the stillness and community you need to feel seen, heard, and nourished without judgment.

How it works

Book a term: Over a term, the circle becomes a sanctuary of connection & belonging.

Meet once a week: One guided hour a week with the same intimate group of mothers & babies.

Gather, write, build community: No writing experience needed. All motherhood experiences and identities welcome.

We’re committed to making MotherFolk spaces as accessible and welcoming as possible. Most of our venues are fully wheelchair accessible.
Our Whitley Bay circle happens in their upstairs room, which unfortunately does not have step-free access. There is a room where you can leave your pram downstairs.
If you have access needs of any kind, please let us know on the form when booking. We're always happy to move a session to an accessible venue whenever possible, or to discuss alternative arrangements so you can take part fully. We do also run another circle in North Tyneside – at The Exchange in North Shields – which is fully accessible.
