Tummy Time in the Trees

Five week Sunday morning series offering a gentle, structured space where moms can bring their babies for tummy time while getting grounded themselves in nature.

Deer in the forest

Moms can bring their little ones for tummy time and leave having experienced the benefits of nature and community for themselves!  Moms can expect a mindful walk, a grounding activity by becoming attuned to their senses, a poetry reading, and a confidential, nonjudgemental space to share the highs, lows, and hopes regarding motherhood.


Sunday mornings 10am-11am from Sept. 13th through Oct. 11th at Serviceberry Farm, in Towson MD.  Drop in sessions $35, discount for full 5 sessions $160.  A great gift idea for a new Mom!
