Event details

Join us in East Lakeview for an evening of support, reflection, and connection for moms and those who love them.

We'll be screening the new documentary No Country for Mothers about what motherhood really looks like in America today, and how the system is set up to divide us rather than support us. Together, we'll focus on the solutions that help ALL new families thrive.

This isn’t just about watching a film; it's about being in a room where we can say things out loud that we’ve been carrying quietly, and realize we’re not alone. Hosted by two moms and certified coaches, and sponsored by local businesses that support the early motherhood years, we'll allow space for the hard parts and offer real solutions.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, we'll be providing bites and beverages for the grown-ups, and FREE childcare and pizza dinner at The Family Room play space three doors down (space is limited, so RSVP soon!). Infants and older children are welcome to stay with their parents to watch the film. See Hosts, Sponsors, and Partners at RSVP link.
This is a free event, but RSVP is required, please go here to register.
Street parking available.
