Host a Green Mama Cafe

What is The Green Mama Cafe?

The Green Mama Cafe is an interactive group of parents (and expectant parents) that meets weekly to learn about green living, share parenting tips, and have fun. Sessions run 12 weeks. Children are welcome.

The Green Mama Cafe is supported by Manda Aufochs Gillespie, aka The Green Mama and is hosted by either a specific group or person or by a group of parents. In the past, Green Mama Cafes have been hosted by Whole Foods Markets, Nature Museums, parent groups, baby boutiques, yoga studios, lifestyle centres, and coffee shops.

As well as discounts on advertising, future hosting sessions, and Green Make-overs as applicable. (Value exceeds $1,000). Price: $400.  4-pack series: $1200.

What people say about The Green Mama Cafe

Participants LOVE The Green Mama Cafe. It is a combination of good research, inspiring information, tight facilitation, like-minded participants at a similar stage, accepting and non-judgemental leadership, and fun, that moms want but rarely find. Read more testimonials, including the extensive press.  The writers interview participants and determine The Green Mama's appeal is she is  "serious, but not absolute" and  "The Green Guru at the center this cluster of women." A cluster of women that represents "a marketing gold mine—a category 15 million to 20 million strong with an estimated $209 billion reach."

"Changed my life!"

– Nora G., Green Mama Cafe participant (1.5 years, Green Parenting 101)

"The best thing I've done as a parent. I just wish I had had the Green Mama with my first child."

        – Maureen R., Green Mama Cafe participant (1 year)

"Every time I went to a group, I learned something new. I didn't do everything I learned, but I was always glad I learned and just wish I had found the group even sooner. I still think every day about something from the sessions. (I attended for a year and started when my son was 9-months old.) I was inspired by the other mothers, each which had something different she was doing, and Manda is just amazing in her depth of information."

         — Lisa M., Green Mama Cafe participant (1 year)
