AMAMA Table × Okūma

Expecting a baby? Just had one? Come find your table.

Pregnancy and early parenthood can be strangely lonely.

You may be surrounded by information, appointments and advice — and still wish you simply knew someone else going through the same thing.

AMAMA Table is a monthly gathering for expectant and postpartum families — Hungarians and internationals together.

We begin by slowing down over an Okūma tea ceremony. Then the table opens.

Meet families with newborns. If you’re expecting, hear from couples who are already a few steps ahead of you. If you’ve recently had your baby, come out, meet other adults and share what these first weeks and months are really like.

There will also be AMAMA birth and postpartum professionals in the house. Ask about pregnancy, birth, feeding, postpartum or the transition into parenthood if you want to.

But this isn’t a class.

There is no stage and no agenda you need to follow.

Sometimes the person sitting next to you may have exactly the experience you needed to hear. Come as you are.

Come with your partner. Bring your baby. Breastfeed or bottle-feed comfortably. Sit on the floor. Lie down if you need to. Ask the question you thought you weren’t supposed to ask — or simply have tea and listen for a while.

Okūma is hidden away from the noise of the city, with cushions, soft spaces and corners where you can settle in comfortably.

We want AMAMA Table to feel like the living room of the village many of us no longer have.

A safe, intimate place where locals and internationals can meet, conversations don’t need to avoid the difficult parts, and nobody expects new parenthood to look a particular way.
