How can we get together in multi generational groups particularly as women? In traditional societies, there were (and are) these spaces where women young and old would get together with a task, basket weaving, jewellery making etc, where young girls could be part of their community and learn from their aunties. We lost the task (in modern society) but also lost the space. How can we recreate it? For creating those positive bonds between women beyond mother and daughter, so our girls can grow up confident, get some guidance on morality and well-being, and having role models. And for older generations to connect with younger women.
I would love to set something up in my community but really struggling with a reason for my friends and their daughters (and other women of all ages) to get together to work on something together, with the biproduct being that sense of belonging and support.
Anyone done something like this? Seen it work or been part of it? What could work?
I live in a small coastal community in Australia, not far from big cities but we have a strong community here so I think many would have the time and interest.
