Goals of the group

To parent or to not parent. That is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. This group is a safe place for those who aren't sure whether they want to have kids, or not. The discussions will help you explore your own thought process. Realistically, you'll not reach a decision in 4 weeks but will have the tools to get started.

Who is the group for?

Anybody who finds themselves juggling these thoughts - men, women, non-binary, single, married, and partnered people.

“I’m afraid of losing my partner because he wants kids, and I don’t know what I want. I think I don’t want them.”
“I’m afraid of losing my identity, freedom, and comfort if I have children. Afraid of regretting it if I don’t.”
“I’ve always wanted to have a baby, but is it even ethical, knowing the environmental and political climate?”
“I need some peace and clarity from the torture of sitting on the fence for too long.”

  • Honestly, this session was great and after sharing it with our friends lots of people want to explore something similar.
