Honest accounts from households who have attended

My husband and I attended the new-parent workshop when our daughter was about three months old. Neither of us had done anything like it before, and we were both a bit sceptical about the format. By the end of the three hours we had said things to each other that we'd been carrying separately for months. The facilitator kept well out of it — she just held the space and let us talk. The prompt cards have stayed on our kitchen shelf.

I did the Family of Origin series on my own. It's a strange thing to sit in a room and think carefully about your parents and grandparents and what they passed on — but the structure makes it feel manageable rather than overwhelming. The journal is genuinely useful. I was initially worried the sessions would feel like group therapy, but they didn't. The facilitator made that distinction very clear at the start.

We're in our second year of the membership now. When we first signed up I wasn't sure we'd use it fully, but we've been to more workshops than I expected and the monthly prompt cards have become a small ritual — we read them over dinner and sometimes talk about them and sometimes don't. The private sessions with the facilitator have been the most useful part for us personally.

Came with my wife when we were expecting our second child. There's a lot of practical support around newborns but not much that helps you actually talk to your partner about how you're both feeling about the change. This workshop fills that gap. It's not long — three hours goes quickly — and you leave with something tangible. The team was easy to communicate with before and after the session.

I've done both the Origin Series and two public workshops as part of the membership. The Series was the more substantial experience — three sessions spread over three weeks, with a journal that I actually used rather than left in a drawer. The follow-up note arrived exactly a month later and I found it more useful than I expected. It made me realise I'd actually been thinking about what came up in the sessions.

I went to the new-parent workshop with a friend rather than a partner — she'd just had her first baby and was finding it hard to talk about some of the changes. The facilitator was welcoming about us coming together and adapted things naturally. We both found it useful. My only note would be that the prompt cards could do with a few more options, but that's a small thing against an otherwise solid session.
