Press “Restart” Button
“Mom Needs Break” is a community of Garden Route based mothers, who want to recharge and explore in a company of fellow moms. We will do what we wouldn’t have done on our own. And we will share what we wouldn’t have said otherwise. Together will have day trips, hikes, walks, workshops, picnics and create support groups of moms.
Almost everything will work better, if you unplug for a few minutes, including you!
Mothers Sharing Circle
A circle of mothers, who share their stories one by one: motherhood and work, partners, guilt, finding joy in mundane, depression, anxiety self-kindness and more. The main principle is letting each other share, without giving any advice or judgment, by simply listening. Mothers’ stories help with new perspective, create feeling of connection and give simple relief.
“Mom Needs Break Club” is a project of a a registered Tour Operator “Unravel Surf Travel, who has been organizing adventure trips around Southern Africa for more than 12 years. The project has been created by professional Garden Route photographer, tour operator and a mom, Jenya Zhivaleva.

Reviews
I knew the sharing circle was going to be good, but.. it was so powerful and I was amazed and humbled to see how open these wonderful women were with strangers they hadn’t met before today. 
How supportive the environment was. Always a helping hand (literally) when navigating tricky mountain paths/trails/climbing with ‘balance issues’ I made it up and down that mountain strong

The hike in the Outeniqua Mountains was beautiful. It was challenging but it was such a great accomplishment making it to the end! The lunch was an absolute spoil as well as it being delicious.
Thank you to each and every mom that shared your stories, it’s a great thing to be a part of and I honestly woke up this morning (stiff) but so refreshed and ready to take on the day. I’m in a better head space today! I would definitely do something like this once a month and would recommend this to any mom who needs a bit of a break from life.
