Singing Mamas is a non-profit, award-winning, global movement for maternal wellbeing. We deliver nurturing, supportive singing groups for mothers and their allies. Women of all ages and stages are welcome, with or without children.
We believe we are all innately able to sing and we know that singing can do amazing things for your wellbeing.
We sing for around an hour followed by half an hour for tea, cake and chat.
All songs are taught by ear. You’ll find no sheet music, no musical jargon, no auditions, no solos, no critique of voice, no pressure. We are absolutely about the singing and not the sound. The experience, not the musicality.
Singing Mamas Community Groups offers a supportive space to meet and connect with other women - breastfeeding is welcome, bottle-feeding is welcome, tears are welcome, just as you are - you are welcome.
All the details: Six Week Block on Thursdays running from 3rd of September through 8th October. You're welcome to book the whole block or drop-in when you can.
Thursday mornings 10:30am - 12:00pm
St James Episcopal Church, 11A John's Place, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 7EL
We sing for an hour followed by half of hour of tea, cake and community connection. Book your spot here: https://bookwhen.com/leithsingingmamas
In a three-way partnership between Safer by Sound, Inspiring Leith, and St. James, The Well gathers musicians, poets, storytellers, and dancers to find grace and healing at a monthly dry open-mic night. Many of us are either in addiction recovery of some kind and/or struggling with neuro-diversity issues. Testimonies abound of folks who arrive uncertain, anxious, and fearful only to leave uplifted and triumphant.
There’s nothing quite like a live performance in a mutually engaging atmosphere to bring transformative encouragement to someone struggling. The spirit of the room is one of festive laughter and abundant support for fellow performers.
Song, poetry, spoken word, instrumentals of every kind, interpretive dance - sometimes deeply introspective, sometimes riotously funny - it is always well worth the time.
