Singing Mamas is an international CIC that particularly supports women in the perinatal phase using the power of community singing.

The Ivybridge group runs every Monday morning 10-11.30 (term time).
We sing for an hour and then enjoy a natter with cuppa and cake. It is a joyous, & nourishing group.

Happy 100th Birthday today to the living legend and global treasure that is Sir David Attenborough. We sang happy birthday to him in the woods at Busy Bees and also, rather wonderfully, to one of our youngest, Barnaby, who was 1 today! A century apart and hopefully both nature champions in their lifetimes 💚💚

Happy Earth Day! 💚
A day to think about this precious, beautiful planet we call home and renew our pledge to care for it.
The main theme this year is: our power, our planet.

It's easy to think individually we have no power to make a difference but everyday collective action can make real change.

I just read a brilliant quote from the Dalai Lama:
"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room". I love it! So true! 🤣

Head to www.earthday.org for more info and how you can make a difference.

Meanwhile...some pics of being back in the woods at Lukesland and a reminder of nature's beauty. I've been super stressed recently and being immersed in nature is definitely my healer! 💚💚💚💚

Lukesland Gardens is open weds & sun till 7th June ✨

Been having lots of fun with this little egg-speriment in sessions on the run up to Easter! 🔥✨
The kids thought this one looked like a dragon's egg 🐲🐉💚

The science (according to Google) is that the sparkler can continue to burn through the liquid egg (without air) because it is self-oxidising (barium nitrate on the sparkler acts as a chemical oxygen source)...who knew?!

Happy Easter everyone!! ✨

We asked Hope why she trained as a Singing Mamas leader…

Hope runs  a Singing Mamas group on Monday mornings in Ivybridge, Devon.
