The Village
November 24 & December 8
Two lunchtime gatherings for expectant and new parents, hosted by Iris Bazin, doula, and Anabel Salinas, clinical psychologist.
Small, relaxed conversations where you can bring whatever is on your mind, hear from other parents going through the same chapter, and leave with a few new faces in your village.
Tuesday, November 24 / 12:00-13:30
Becoming Parents: Let's Talk About It!
For expectant parents
Childbirth, pain, fears, welcoming a new baby, changes within the couple, solo parenting... Pregnancy brings so many questions, and sometimes we don't feel comfortable asking them.
Come with your questions, talk openly and meet other women and men expecting a baby too. Expectant mothers are welcome on their own or with someone they'd like to bring along.
Tuesday, December 8 / 12:00-13:30
Leave It All at the Door, Even the Things We Don't Dare Say
For new parents
Sleepless nights, anger, breastfeeding, loneliness... Becoming a parent changes everything, yet we don't talk about it nearly enough.
This is a moment to say how it really is, including the parts that are hard to put into words. Moms and dads are equally welcome, and so are babies.

Coming in January
