The Indigo Project update!

We’ve had the most wonderful term celebrating Spring and creatively reflecting on the highs and lows of being a parent. Thank you to everyone who has come along, wiggled, shared, drunk tea and made the community what it is.

The Indigo Project will now be being paused for some time, while Alex, co-founder and Indigo Project facilitator, embarks on her own parenting adventure, welcoming her own baby this Summer!

Once out of the trenches of newborn life, she will be back and we can’t wait to see how the project will evolve!

For now watch this space for other Stone Soup ventures, led by the wonderful Harry (Co-founder)!

“I’ve found that the leaders of the workshop and the other mums I made friends with, to be an invaluable resource to allow me to open up and express my feelings about motherhood. The workshop taking place every week acts like a reset button and makes me feel like I can cope with the rest of the week. My baby also benefits hugely from the interaction with other babies, the stories and songs which are unique to this group. There is no other group which has such a wonderful combination of support for parents and learning for young children.”

What parents have to say:

“Unlike many baby groups, space has been made to share the difficulties of life as a mother / parent and as a result strong bonds have been forged with the other Mums and children who attend. This has been invaluable to me.
Alex and Harry are brilliant, funny and creative facilitators who sensitively balance so many different qualities in order to nurture, entertain, support and lift us all up.
There has always been a focus on positives as well, with gentle reminders of the little ways we can implement self-care in order to look after ourselves, and as a result look after our children even better.”

“This group incorporates beautifully the mental wellbeing of parents whilst being engaging and fun for the little ones. I have already recommended it to many!”

✨Parents of under 3’s✨

What, when it comes to yourself as a parent, would you like to let go of?
This week we will be reflecting on this question using some stones from Hove seafront as a creative aid (they will be returned).
Before that we will go on an adventure with a monkey who becomes a pirate, singing some sea shanties and have a nice hot drink.

Are you feeling drawn to be part of a community of parents who talk honestly about the amazing highs and difficult lows of parenthood? Then join us this week at ‘The Indigo Project’. .happy.campus

“It’s easy to attend sessions for baby’s sake, playing with pretty things and letting them explore, but it’s rare to find somewhere you can connect on a deeper level with other parents, but also facilitators of the group, developing genuine friendships whilst watching your children grow together. Something that started out as a creative but wacky improvised activity, became a structured and therapeutic world that really centred around the wellbeing of parents. The facilitators really listened to the needs of everyone that attended. They read between the lines and paved the way for us to build a group that became the support we craved.”

Baby and Toddler parents!

Are you craving community? Are you emerging out of the 4th trimester and looking for the first group to start with your little one? Have you had a nice but exhausting Christmas with your little one and could do with a space to drink a tea and share the reality of being a parent with likeminded people? Are you looking for a baby/toddler group that caters for you as much as them? Are you looking for a group that uses music that isn’t just nursary rhymes?

Then the Indigo Project might just be for you…and we’ve just moved to Hove!

Sessions are facilitated by an HCPC registered Dramatherapist (me 👋) and include sharing circles for parents and silly imaginative sensory stories and songs for the babies/toddlers. Group numbers are capped at around 8 per session to keep groups feeling small and safe.
