Parenting is a beautiful journey filled with unforgettable moments, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges and moments of isolation. At The Wriggle in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, New York, parents can find solace and rejuvenation through mindful meetups tailored just for them.
The Wriggle, known for listing activities for children, has extended its offerings to include something special for adults. Introducing a new 8-week event series designed to provide parents with a much-needed opportunity to unwind and prioritize self-care.
Each week, participants will delve into various activities aimed at fostering mindfulness and inner peace. From meditation sessions to creative mood-boarding and invigorating Pilates classes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
What sets these mindful meetups apart is the inclusive approach towards parenting. Parents need not worry about finding a sitter, as children aged 0-6 years old are encouraged to join in the fun. While parents engage in their sessions, kids can indulge in open play activities in a designated area, ensuring a stress-free experience for everyone involved.
Moreover, each session goes beyond the physical practice, offering journaling prompts for self-reflection and sending attendees meditations to continue their mindfulness journey outside of class. The supportive environment encourages parents to share their experiences, triumphs, and challenges, fostering a sense of community and understanding.
Additionally, The Wriggle regularly invites guest wellness experts to host specialized classes, further enriching the experience for participants. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to mindfulness practices, these meetups offer a welcoming space for personal growth and connection.
Partners have included:
- The Bar Method Williamsburg
- Sparsa Greenpoint
- Good Day Pilates, Williamsburg
- Note the Moments
- The Superhero Box
- Stay Small Art Club
- Nicola Holdsworth Illustrations
While the first series concludes in March, there’s good news for those who miss out. The mindful meetups will make a comeback in the summer, ensuring that parents have ongoing opportunities to prioritize their well-being amidst the demands of parenthood.
Don’t let the stresses of parenting weigh you down. Join The Wriggle’s mindful meetups and discover a sanctuary where you can rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit while connecting with like-minded parents in the Greenpoint and Williamsburg community.
