Breaking the Cycle | Mindful Parenting Workshop Series

from Β£20.00
Sold Out

A three-part workshop series for parents, by The Mindful Parent Hub

If that question feels familiar, you are not alone. Breaking the Cycle is a nurturing three-part workshop series designed to help parents explore the patterns, pressures and emotions that can make parenting feel overwhelming β€” and begin to gently shift them.

Held at the Good Shepherd Studios in Leytonstone, each Wednesday morning session combines guided creative practice with meaningful reflection, giving you time and space that is entirely your own.

What to expect

Each 90-minute session weaves together therapeutic art-making, a guest speaker from the wellbeing community, and honest group conversation. You'll leave with a workbook and art journal pack to continue your practice between sessions.

No art experience or skills needed β€” just a willingness to show up for yourself.

The Sessions

Session 1 β€” Anxiety + Sound Therapy Art Wednesday 22 April · 10.45am–12.15pm

Explore how anxiety shows up in your body and your parenting. Using sound therapy and art-making, this session creates space to release tension and tune into what you're really feeling.

Session 2 β€” Generational Cycles + Family Collage Wednesday 29 April · 10.45am–12.15pm

So much of how we parent is inherited, absorbed from our own childhoods before we were old enough to question it. In this session, we'll use collaging to map family patterns and begin to explore which cycles you want to carry forward, and which you're ready to break and leave behind.

Session 3 β€” Setting Boundaries + Personal Shield Wednesday 6 May · 10.45am–12.15pm

Boundaries aren't walls β€” they're the foundations of healthy relationships. In this final session, you'll create your own Personal Shield: a visual declaration of your values, your limits and what you're protecting.

What's included in all three sessions:

  • Three guided creative workshops

  • Workbook and art journal pack when all 3 workshops are booked together

  • Guest speaker from the wellbeing community

  • Refreshments

Where:

Good Shepherd Studios, Leytonstone

Book your place:

Spaces are limited.

If childcare is an issue not to worry, young children are welcome.

Feedback and Testimonials

"Dear aunty Sima, Thank you for giving us something to look forward to each week. You have been my highlight of 2020. And gave me a reason to smile. Love from Amelia"

"Last session of Yusuf’s craft club with Artists’ Apothecary 😍 Thanks Sima for always going above and beyond with the kids, they have absolutely loved coming each week and we secretly hope you organise more sessions in the new year! πŸ’•πŸ₯°"

it's incredible to see such important work happening at the Mindful Parent Hub workshops. Acknowledging and addressing parental burnout is essential, and it's heartening to hear about the supportive and honest environment you've created. The upcoming session sounds like a great way for parents to manage their multifaceted responsibilities and find some peace through creative activities. Looking forward to seeing the positive impact this will have!" β€” Dr Sunil Kumar, Lifestyle Medicine Physician

"The clear explanation of what parental burnout is was very helpful. I especially liked how you described it from your own experience, it made it feel real and relatable. The journaling with art activity helped me express things I often struggle to put into words."

The Mindful Parent Hub
