Nature Playgroup
Mother or other caregivers with babies & kids
🌱 Next playdate 🌱 7th March 2024!
Birth in Portugal and Bioaventuras partner up to co-create the Nature Playgroup: a safe space where mothers/fathers/caregivers with their babies & children share a morning with like-minded people.
It is outdoors (most times) - we believe Nature is the ideal environment for being and bonding. Parents and caregivers come from various nationalities and backgrounds. We discuss many topics and often share resources and experiences from post-partum challenges, babywearing, introducing solid foods to your baby, baby signs, as well as gentle parenting, natural play, alternative schooling, and more.
If this is something you or a loved one in your network is looking for, you can find the link for the formbelow and we will soon get in touch.
Me and Flávia - co-founder of Braga Forest School and Bioaventuras - got to know each other 4 years ago in a playgroup and have been friends since then - such a privilege it has been to witness our babies growing together. Since 2021 we partnered up to co-create this space and are contributing to community building in a growing multicultural (often isolated) family world.
“This group is a breath of fresh air for my two and half year’s daughter, but for me as well." Julie Daujat
"It is so nice to see your baby interacting with other babies and having new experiences, but equally great to become part of a little community with similarly minded new parents!”
Jacopo Bono, Íris's father
Access to green areas
This is a great opportunity to get to know green-rich areas in the city, or near the city of Braga that are accessible and family friendly. We prioritise public parks with trees, grasses and sand as well as many of Braga's river shores. We see it over and over again how a natural surrounding allows for relaxation and connection.
Nature play
Flavia has the talent to create the most beautiful invitations for sensorial play. She has more than 10 years experience creating playing moments with natural materials for babies, toddlers and children. Through free experimentation, we learn the wonders of observing babies and children exploring the world.
Connection
While using natural materials and the elements, we create sensorial moments where both adults and children benefit, fostering deep connection and bonding. We offer calm yet grounding mornings of awareness, allowing for presence, vulnerability, joy and deepen the sense of community.
