Give the mothers on your team a village.

All in English. Babies and toddlers always welcome.

Village Cafés + members-only gatherings where relationships can actually develop
Private member community for connection between gatherings
The Village Library with practical guides, resources and selected recordings
Priority access to Village events
Babies and toddlers welcome — always
No internal program to build. No workshops for HR to organize.

A systematic review found insufficient social support from partners, family and friends was associated with greater risk of perinatal depression and anxiety.
Especially relevant internationally
WHO identifies low social support and migration among factors associated with increased risk of maternal mental-health difficulties.
Especially valuable for international teams
Relocating an employee’s family successfully is about more than housing, paperwork and childcare.
For a mother building a family away from home, it can also mean navigating pregnancy and early motherhood without grandparents nearby, childhood friends down the road or an established network of other mothers.
The Village gives her one.
The Village Oslo is English-speaking and already brings together mothers from different countries and backgrounds who are building their lives in Oslo.
For international employers, The Village at Work can complement existing relocation and family benefits with something much harder to provide internally:
a real, local community.
Support that doesn’t disappear when an employee goes on leave
Pregnancy, birth and early motherhood are enormous transitions. And an employee’s relationship with her workplace doesn’t need to disappear simply because she is spending this season focused on her baby.
The Village at Work gives companies a meaningful way to say:
We’re here for you during this chapter, too.
Not by asking mothers to return sooner.
Not by adding another workplace obligation.
By giving them access to support, trusted information and a community they can use on their own terms.
Who is this for?
The Village at Work may be particularly relevant for:
International companies · Relocation providers · Professional services firms ·
Tech companies · Organizations with globally mobile teams ·
Employers investing in family and wellbeing benefits

Already growing in Oslo
The Village Oslo is already bringing mothers together through expert-led gatherings, community events, member spaces and practical resources. Our gatherings regularly fill, mothers return across multiple events, and many join because they are looking for exactly what is often hardest to find during motherhood: consistent, local community.
What mothers are saying
“The Village Oslo is such an important and much-needed community for mothers. l've already learned a lot through the events and expert sessions, but just as valuable are the conversations shared by the other moms. It's a welcoming space where you can ask questions, share experiences, and feel understood by women going through similar things. I love that it brings together both practical support and genuine connection. It makes motherhood feel a little less overwhelming.”
“Thank you for last workshop and gathering with Ute. I found it very grounded and informing! Already booked a session with her!
I love what you are developing and the idea about the Village. It is so important and so needed!
(…) I believe it will be very supportive for many mothers.”
“I enjoyed a lot this stress free way to gather with a little baby community; usually it's a lot of logistics to plan and and you provided everything we could wish for (healthy snack/drink/toys/tent/mammas with common interest to connect) and it was no stress to be late or anything.
Thank you!”
