The Motherhood Event
Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual,
it comes with support.
Who We Are
Welcome to Maastricht’s first
Expat Motherhood Circle
This is a space for moms and moms-to-be navigating motherhood far from home.
If you’re looking for connection, support, and a place to share experiences with like-minded women, you’re in the right place. While every motherhood journey is unique, we all share similar challenges and wins.
Our Motherhood Events offer a nurturing, empowering space for honest conversations, self-care, and deep connection.
Community Happenings
It takes a village to raise a child - build yours through these community happenings
In this space, you’ll find all our upcoming and ongoing community happenings:
gatherings just for you to rest, breathe, and reconnect — or special moments to share with your child in playful, creative ways.
These events are small, warm, and rooted in connection. Whether you’re looking for support, inspiration, or simply some joy in good company, you’re welcome here.
Check back regularly or join our mailing list to stay updated. This is your village — unfolding, real, and right here with you.
Empowerment
Feel empowered in your own unique choices.
Connection
Connect with other moms, who are in a similar situation.
Nourishment
Nurture yourself and fill up your cup

Mater by Lou
Mater by Lou
is a heartfelt food service dedicated to nourishing new mothers with homemade, organic, and biologically sourced meals. Based in Maastricht, we deliver throughout the Limburg province of Belgium and the Netherlands, bringing comfort and care to your doorstep.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Here are answers to common questions about our motherhood events.
Can I bring my child to the event?
This event is designed to nurture and reconnect mothers—a space where you can truly pause, fill your own cup, and realign with yourself. For that reason, we envisioned these gatherings without children. If you are in the early breastfeeding days, or feel that your baby is up for an event like this, let us know. You know your baby best, you know your situation best. We are here to support you.
What if I have special dietary requirements?
If you have allergies or specific dietary needs, please let us know once your spot is confirmed. Simply send us an email, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
I’m Dutch—can I still join?
If you resonate with the challenges that expat moms face or if you are locally rooted but internationally oriented, you bring something valuable to this space. We warmly welcome you!
I filled out the application form. Does that mean my spot is guaranteed?
Not necessarily—it depends on the number of applications. We aim to be as inclusive as possible while also creating an intimate and supportive atmosphere. Once we have a better idea of interest, we’ll update you on the next steps.
How often do you organize these events?
In 2025 we organize two motherhood events. One in May and one in October/November.
