I’m really excited to say we are now a part of this lovely new initiative, led by , which highlights all of the Substacks who use some or all of their Substack profit to benefit others. You can find us amongst all of the other wonderful Give Back Substacks in this directory here.

I really want these monthly emails to showcase all the wonderful things we have going on, that you can join in with, without you having to read a full essay - so I’ll get right to it-

What’s happening in August ~

In person:

You can find our up-to-date timetable of free-to-access workshops and support at The Women’s Health Hub by clicking here. We have workshops to support a wide variety of lived experiences, for women, girls & all those assigned female at birth of all ages and stages - it’s not just for mothers. So do check it out!

I’m really excited to say our menopause meet-ups are re-launching this month. We will have two regular dates for you to choose from - the first Monday evening of the month (August 5th, 6-8pm) and the third Saturday morning of the month (August 17th, 10-12).

Led by Suzie & Dawn, these sessions are for everyone who is menopausal/ peri-menopausal or who is curious to learn more - for us to connect to one another, to learn from each others lived experience and to build a strong community together ❤️.

We have also finalised the date of our first Safe Space meeting. We will be meeting at 6pm on Thursday September 26th. These sessions are open to everyone who has lived experience of domestic violence - it is for those folks who are now safely removed from their abusive situation, to receive on-going community support, to rebuild friendships and community and trust 🥰.

Here on Substack:

✨ The fifth installment of our online Mindful Bookbinding course was released last week. This is a slow, mindful process which we have been working on together. This turn of the wheel I show you how to make your own book covers 😍. Pretty soon we’ll be starting to sew your book together. You can read more about the whole process here.

✨Our next Community Connection Circle will be held in September - if you’re a paid subscriber, be sure to head to last weeks newsletter to vote in the poll for your favourite day/ time 😊.

If you’d like to join us but finances are a barrier, please do email for a comp subscription, no explanation needed.
