THRIVE is a supportive space for mothers and their babies between birth and up to six months of age. The group is facilitated by Sue Power. These groups run consecutively every 9 weeks in Thornbury at Autumn Retreat.

THRIVE is a safe, non-judgemental and nurturing space that offers you an opportunity to explore the many new experiences of becoming a parent. Through the support of the group we aim to help you find your own way whilst also finding new perspectives and access to your unique inner wisdom and knowing that will support the decisions you make as a parent. This is not a 'how-to-parent' group. This is about reconnecting with yourself, strengthening relationships and building your community. 

Over the 9 weeks we aim to support you by practising and exploring practices that allow you to be more present and connected with yourself, your baby and in other significant relationships in your life.

Each week a different theme is explored. These include identity, love, relating, sexuality and pleasure, family values and rituals, community and creative parenting. This course is all about you and supporting you in navigating this extraordinary and momentous transition that is often misunderstood and devalued. This is not about adding something extra to your list of ‘to-dos’. Self kindness and compassion, mindfulness, relating and communication skills are key foundations of the course. 

The full cost for the entire 9 weeks is only $360 - approx $40 for 2hrs of support and nurturing each week. The full amount is paid prior to the start of the course. If you are experiencing financial difficulties at this time please be in touch to arrange a payment plan. Please be aware we are unable to give a commitment to whether this course will be run in person in its entirety as there may be times we have to be online if the facilitator is unwell. All DHHS recommendations will be adhered to including air purifiers and air flow in the room to minimise risk. Masks are available at reception if needed. Thank you for your patience, understanding and flexibility during this time. If you have any concerns or questions please get in touch.
