Especially in the early days of parenthood, when days feel long, nights short, and intellectual exchange with like-minded people is rare. This is not just a statement, it’s a reality. It’s also true that moms, in particular, commonly lack space during this time to take a deep breath, recharge their batteries, and exchange ideas. With the seemingly never-ending days also come many questions, uncertainties, and doubts. It’s no wonder, because “When a baby is born, so is a mother,” and they too must learn how it all works! Yet, their needs and wishes are still too often overlooked. This is precisely how Lara Maria Gräfen felt when she became pregnant with the idea of founding Ocre. The platform for moms has since seen the light of day and presents a selection of events, mini-retreats and workshops in its first series “Motherhood,” which honor the unique process of motherhood and offer a safe space for moms to find themselves and mingle with others at herbal workshops, cocoa ceremonies, and pottery classes. And without the almost insurmountable challenge of finding trustworthy childcare. Babies are not only allowed at all events, they’re expressly welcome. In addition to events, Ocre also promises a curated selection of objects dealing with motherhood in the future. We can’t wait!
