Connected Conversations: Sex-positive parenting
Event description
- What if others at different stages of the parenting journey compared notes about important topics?
- What if you could cut past the small talk and delve into some interesting topics?
- What if we had honest conversations that let us be vulnerable and make deeper connections?
"Encountering the vulnerability of another person is one of the most helpful things that can happen to us - it normalises our own troubles and allows us to understand the reality rather than the façade of others." Alain de Botton
This meet-up is an opportunity to meet and have meaningful discussions with other parents on a regular basis. A child friendly venue with helpers to do activities with the kids and supervise them playing, while letting parents find time to connect through a casual but structured conversation.
