Mothers In Action

Slovenia and UK May 2023

In May 2023 we had 2 inspiring and nourishing Mothers In Action Trainings where we dived into our mothering journey and leadership pathways! The participants came from Italy, Hungary, Slovenia and the UK and their participation was funded by Erasmus +.

During the course at Applewood in the UK, the participants were filmed by the wonderful cinematographer Cristina Panicali and we are pleased to be able to share the full length film she has put together, funded by Erasmus +. Check it out below.

Training for mothers

We have been running three trainings so far: a pilot training for mothers in Hungary (2018), a training for professionals working with mothers in Italy (2019) and a Mothers in Nature training in Hungary (2022).

Our goal during the trainings is to establish a culture of awareness of motherhood. They are deep, nourishing, and empowering experiences. We go through the Mother’s journey (a model we have been developing based on Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s journey), we use art-based tools, nature connection activities, meditations, and deep sharing.

Mondaino, Italy, March 2019

Dear Mother Nature, I’ve had the most brilliant, funny, effective, relaxing, sparkling, empowering, appropriate, heartfelt, inspired, inspiring, powerful, loving, supportive, calming and reassuring training of my whole life. Just thanks forever.

Mother Nature pilot training for Mothers

Téreny, Hungary, June 2018

Mother Nature was a home to refuge and find some rest. Mother Nature was an isle where I could find a friend telling me “you can”. You can find a pair of wings and fly, and understand you are not alone. We are all mothers, and so divine. Let this divine treasure shine to transform all the darkness around you and meet your light! Thank you.
— Silvia, co-mother
