The Longest Shortest Time

Join Us for a LIVE Mamas Group!

We have been enjoying the deep, nonjudgy bonding going on over at our Facebook mamas group so much that we are going to be taking that show on the road. Well, not too far on the road. Just up the street, actually, in the town where I live: Montclair, NJ. If you also live here, or near here (there’s a train or bus from NYC), please consider joining us for this exciting pilot support group at the very excellent Montclair B.A.B.Y.

Montclair Baby_320x320 Doula and yoga instructor Kelli DeFlora started Montclair B.A.B.Y. a couple of years ago as a support center for new and expectant moms. We couldn’t think of a more perfect place to host Let’s Learn from Each Other: A Support Group for New Momsa reward Kelli won by joining us as a sponsor during our Kickstarter.

When: Saturday, April 5 at 12:30pm

Where: Montclair B.A.B.Y., 113 Walnut Street, Montclair, NJ

What Makes This Support Group Different from Other Mama Support Groups?
Here at the Longest Shortest Time, we have discovered (with your help!) that moms often feel most supported when they learn from each other, rather than from books or an expert pushing one particular point-of-view. And we have been overwhelmed by the evidence that healing through storytelling is possible. In this group, we will be drawing upon the negative stories we tell ourselves about our parenting, and in sharing our stories with each other, we will see if we can shift our storytelling to a more positive light.

My Awesome Co-Facilitator
We are so lucky to be joined for this event by social worker and family therapist Sarah Berland. Sarah collaborates with individuals, couples, families, and groups in their efforts to strengthen relationships and move from what is known and familiar toward what it is possible to know about ourselves and one another. Sarah has a 4-year-old son and a nearly 2-year-old daughter. Sarah and I met when our kids were roly poly babies, and we have been talking mama shop ever since. Seriously, I have had some of my most illuminating parenting conversations with this lady. If you come to this workshop, you are in for a treat.
