Who should attend?
This retreat is for mothers to be, new mothers, and moms who are old pro’s, who had a different path than they realized. This retreat is therapeutic in nature, meaning we will focus on the struggles of becoming a mother, grief in giving up our identities and acquiring new ones, the transitions we’ve made, won’t make, and were forced to make, and the impact motherhood has had on our lives. This retreat is about connection and witnessing. It is also about healing and making peace with your journey.
Why should I attend?
Consider attending if you are looking for connection to other moms who’s journey was not rosy but unexpected and messy. Consider attending if you feel alone, weird, unheard, or upset. Consider attending if you want to process your journey to and in motherhood with other moms who want to relate and support you. Perhaps we can have a community that continues to support our individual motherhoods long after the sun sets on this day long processing retreat. Consider attending if you’ve had success in local mother’s support groups and want to go deeper.
