Meeting Info:

Join us for a FREE peer-led group intended for people seeking pregnancy & parenting support. Group gatherings are on-going, easily accessible, and judgement free. No registration or commitment is required. Drop-ins are always welcome. Sometimes we may have lots of thoughts to share, in that case we stay a longer.

Be assured that you are not the only one feeling day-to-day pressures, stressors, or feelings of being anxious or depressed. On some days it is doubly challenging to know where to start or how to seek support, let alone ask for it. In this peer-to-peer group, know that you are not alone. During group you may share whatever is on your mind, or prefer to sit quietly, or let tears free flow down your cheeks, or listen intently, or make us laugh until our sides ache. This group is here for it all.

Come as you are, and as often as you can. As a group, we recognize that on some days it’s difficult to consider getting yourself ready to go anywhere, to get your children ready to go, work up any amount of energy to get out the door, or consider opening a conversation with people you may have not met before. We get it, come conversation can seem exhausting and overwhelming. With that in mind, please know that joining a conversation is never necessary. Nor is any special attire, we are a come as you are group. You are welcome to show up wearing your pajamas, wearing your favorite shirt covered with baby snot and vomit, or with hair that has not combed in days. Everyone understands because and we’ve all been there at some point. Just show up and see if this group meets your needs. Lap babies and older children are welcome. Feel free to bring an activity that will keep your baby or older children occupied so you can focus on yourself for a little while. On days when we meet at Atlas Collective Brews & Books location, make a mental note that there is a very well organize book and play corner for children

PLEASE be mindful of our indoor meeting spaces. When we plan to meet indoors do not bring activities such as paints, markers, glue, sand art, goop or slime. Messy items are best saved for days when we plan to meet up on park days.

What: Sunrise on the Reading

Organized by: Stephan Brennan & Quad City Morning Readers

Date: Saturday, September 20, 2025

Location: Lindsey Park 2100 E river Drive, Davenport, IA.

Time: 5:00 AM

This month we’ll meet at Lindsey Park in the Village of East Davenport! Lindsey Park is a rather large, grassy area with some benches, but bringing your own chair is a good idea too. It overlooks the Mighty Mississippi with a gorgeous view and even had a playground nearby so if your kiddos are up that early, they can get the early morning wiggles out!

Just show up, bring a book and sufficient caffeine of your choice and read as the sun rises over the Mississippi!

Feel free to chat and make some friends or enjoy the quiet and immerse yourself in your book.
