Singing Mamas Basel

15/09/2025

We see you, mums. 👀💛

We see you grabbing five minutes alone, but not really switching off.
We see you putting the kettle on, only to reheat the same cup of tea three times.
We see you scrolling in the dark, baby monitor in hand.
We see you “resting” while the to-do list runs on repeat in your head.

A new study in the British Journal of Psychology gave this feeling a name: “solitude that isn’t mine.”
It shows that most mothers get less than an hour a day of true me-time — and even that is interrupted, shared, or overshadowed by the mental load.

And honestly, shame we need research to tell us this. Because we’ve always seen you. 💛

This is why at Singing Mamas we create spaces where mums can have a pocket of time that really is theirs — to sing, to connect, to rest, to feel lighter.

Every May Day morning Morris dancers around the world dance at dawn to help ensure the sun rises every morning. With Ferrette Morris we were at the top of the chateau du Landskron in Leymen yesterday at dawn to welcome the sun. Just like Singing Mamas, dancing and making music with friends, talking, laughing and sharing the experience creates a glow as warm as the sun.

We are always looking for new dancers and musicians to join our Morris side, so if you fancy trying giving it a try get in touch and come along to one of our practices in Basel. And for more pictures and films follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ferrette_morris?igsh=MTZoZ2lwOGY1MXNjdw==
