Momasphere members got together to screen Who Does She Think She Is? a documentary about the thorny balancing act between motherhood & artistic expression. Afterwards, three local creativity coaches (who happen to be moms too) led an intimate audience discussion about what it takes to be a mom who is pursuing her creative dreams.

Momasphere was thrilled to offer an amazing opportunity to go behind the scenes at Melt & learn from a true master. New Zealand born & bred, celebrity "Top Chef" contender, Chef Mark Simmons shared his secrets for the perfectly braised lamb shank, delectable herbed polenta and exquisitely charred asparagus. All the moms learned how to prepare a high-end meal on a low-end budget. Wine was matched with the relaxed meal that followed the class. Everyone walked away with a great taste in their mouth, new cooking skills, recipes for all dishes made and served and a fun dinner with other awesome moms!

Back by popular demand, Momasphere was thrilled to invite members to our second bi-annual Mommy Needs Cocktail evening at Melt, for some good laughs and an opportunity to mingle and network with a fabulous group of New York City moms of ALL ages. Comedians, spoken word artists & authors (all moms) shared their sometimes hilarious/ sometimes touching trials & tribulations of motherhood.

Momasphere hosted NYC's only 2010 Lunafest. The screening, talk-back with director Ela Thier and tabling room were filled to capacity. Great Q & A, massages, make-overs, food, goodie bags and raffles prizes! All for two great causes!
