A Night to Shine, Connect, & Be Seen

Friday, January 16 • 7–10 PM
Zen Haus Café — Ridgewood, NJ
Tickets: $60 • Early Bird: $55 (thru 12/31) • Two for $100

Expressive Mama is a cozy, creative, sparkly night out designed just for moms — a spacious evening to reconnect with yourself, express what’s on your heart, move your body, make art, and be surrounded by women who get it.

This is not a typical moms’ night out
and not a traditional open mic.

It’s a judgment-free, pressure-free, perfection-free experience where your voice, your presence, and your creativity are honored exactly as they are.

Come as you are.
Share if you feel inspired.
Be witnessed.
Shine a little (or a lot).

A Gentle Invitation to Express Yourself Creatively

Throughout the evening, we’ll have a warm, supportive space for “expressions” — short moments where any mama who feels inspired can share a piece of herself.

You can offer something from the heart, something playful, something creative, or something simple. Examples include:Throughout the evening, we’ll have a warm, supportive space for “expressions” — short moments where any mama who feels inspired can share a piece of herself.

You can offer something from the heart, something playful, something creative, or something simple. Examples include:

  • 🎶 Singing a meaningful song (karaoke or a cappella)

  • 💃 A dance or movement piece

  • ✨ Reading a poem, journal entry, or reflection

  • 🎨 Showing a piece of art you’ve created

  • 🎭 A short story, monologue, or spoken word piece

  • 😂 A few minutes of comedy or something silly

  • 🎤 Sharing a personal insight or “a-ha” moment

  • 📖 Reading an excerpt of something you’re writing

  • 🧘 A simple breath or grounding exercise you love

And it can be anything else that feels true to YOU.
There is no right way to express yourself — this is about authenticity, not performance.

No experience needed. No perfection expected.
You can sign up to share, decide later, or choose to witness and cheer others on.
