Enjoy Every Minute / Mwynha Pob Munud

Eight weeks of free creative workshops in Milford Haven for mothers with children 5 and under

Hi there fellow mamma!

Are you looking for a space to breathe, unwind, and connect in a supportive space with other local mums?

Join us for 8 weeks of free, creative workshops designed especially for mums of children aged 5 and under.

WHEN?

STARTING WEDNESDAY 17th SEPTEMBER running weekly until 12th NOVEMBER

(with a break for half term on the 29th October)

WHAT TIME?

10am – 12pm (with a break. Free tea, coffee & cake and drinks and snacks for your little ones)

WHERE?

First four sessions: MILFORD HAVEN LIBRARY

Last four sessions: THE PILL SOCIAL CENTRE, MILFORD HAVEN

Right, that’s all the boring bits out the way, phew! Let us introduce ourselves!

We are Ceri & Angharad. Two mums who work in the arts and both struggled with our mental health after having children.

Finding moments to still be creative whilst juggling the rollercoaster of highs and lows of the postpartum period helped us cope and stay well.

We want to offer support by sharing these skills with you, so we have created this project – ENJOY EVERY MINUTE / MWYNHA POB MUNUD which will begin with these workshops.

Next year we will create a live theatre show – a raw and honest tapestry of voices exploring motherhood in West Wales, and with your consent, some of the poems and stories you create with us in these workshops may form part of that show!

Come as you are — tired, messy ‘mum’ bun, sick on your top, that’s ok – we’ve both been there! We’d love to welcome you.

There will be an extra pair of hands at all workshops to help with you little ones to give you a bit of ‘me’ time and take part in the workshop or even so you can sit and drink your coffee whilst it’s still hot! Aaah bliss!

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

17th September – Poetry. A gentle introduction to get thoughts onto paper in minutes. Inspired by lullabies, children’s books, and everyday moments — no writing experience needed.

24th September – Poetry

1st October – Storytelling – Think a cuppa and a chat about the highs and lows of motherhood

8th October – Storytelling

The last 4 workshops will be in The Pill Social Club

15th October – Singing Don’t panic! No need to be pitch perfect, just a fun silly session where we put our words to music, the same way we make up silly songs to entertain our babies

22nd October – Singing

BREAK FOR HALF TERM

5th November – Movement – A relaxed session where we all dance with our babies in arms – no pressure and no difficult choreography. Just a chance to let go and move to the songs we made the previous week.

12th November – Relax. Review. Refresh. – A final session where we look back at the last 7 weeks and give ourselves a pat on the back for all we have achieved. Being a mum is hard so let’s look at small ways we can try and weave some of the creative stuff we’ve explored to bring a bit of calm into our often chaotic days of parenting.

There will be a Welsh speaker at all workshops so you can engage with the activities in whichever language works for you.
