Below are some of the activities that Intentional Parenting has been involved in.

We kicked off year of 2020 with 21 days of prayer and fasting ahead of our vision board workshop on the 25th of January, which was a success, hosted some networking events and spoken broadly to professionals and parents at different events.

We have since continued with 6am collective for 30mins via Zoom. This is a safe and sacred community for mothers who want to start their day anchored.We have found this to be strategic and helpful in getting started on the day and setting a tone to the rest of the day. These sessions focus on mindfulness and meditation. To join these sessions use this link Zoom

In May 2020 we embarked on the 21 Days of Encountering Gods love devotion. The feedback has been amazing.We meet via Zoom at 6am UK time for 30mins Monday to Friday to pray for our families, communities and ourselves.

The second week of June 2020 , we took time to pray into race and reconciliation using The Bridge devotional.

As a community group we are excited about the present and more delighted to influence the future.

Every September we host the annual back to school prayers. A time to come together and pray for our children as they start new year in school/ college or university.
