Maternal Journal Cambridge - call out for participants May/June

Please join our new group

Maternal Journal in Cambridge

We are thrilled to be creating a Maternal Journal group this Spring for the Motherworks Festival at Cambridge Junction.

The project explores the history and practice of journaling as well as its potential to support our mental health & well-being. Participants will create their own maternal journal through a series of creative workshops.

We are working with amazing artists, poets and writers including: Anna Furse, Bridget Minamore, Hollie McNish & Jodie Hawkes, and will be using our new artist templates created for the Maternal Journal website - launching 01/05.

Please share, and contact us if you live or work in Cambridge, are pregnant or have given birth in the last year, have experienced mild to moderate mental health issues and would like to take part - all are welcome!
