What's Happening in Our Village?
Connect&Play (Playdate): 10th January 2026
10:00 - 12:00, Kweek Foodbar, Kerkstraat 98, Hilversum
January is for slow mornings. For good coffee, easy conversations, children playing nearby, and mothers reconnecting after the busy weeks behind us. This is a relaxed playdate where mamas can meet, catch up, and simply be, while the kids play in a shared space.
No agenda, no pressure - just presence, connection, and space to meet other moms.
During the morning, we’ll also gently introduce Classitter — an all-in-one app created for moms to build real-life connections and offline village. It's where moms can easily book local playdates, meetups, activities, and mom-focused sessions.
RSVP is via the Classitter app.
A €5 reservation fee secures your spot and includes a coffee or warm drink.
MamasThrive: 23rd January 2026
10:00 - 12:00, Anthony Fokkerweg 38, Contribution: €15
Navigating Changes in Motherhood
In this session, Gaby will gently guide us through reflections on early motherhood and how it shapes us. We’ll explore what has changed since becoming a mother, what may feel lost, and what has been gained — and how this compares to what we once expected.
We’ll also reflect on values and norms, noticing which ones still feel true and which may no longer fit. A soft, grounding space for reflection, sharing, and connection in community.
€15 contribution (includes home-baked treats, healthy snacks, tea & coffee, and a babysitter!)
Kids welcome — playtime and care included.
Only 8 spots available, they fill up quickly! RSVP required!

If you’ve ever wondered “Who does what… and when?”, this masterclass will change the way you see your birth team.
