About the event
Who are you? After becoming a mom, women often find this question difficult to answer. Why? Because of:
Matrescence is the profound physical, eomotional, psychological, and social transition a person goes through when becoming a mother. This transition doesn't end at the end of the 4th trimester or even the 1st year post-pregnancy. Join us for a nourishing couple of days to slow down, witness, and honor your transition from woman to mother.
You will have the opportunity to participate in:
Yoga, Meditation, Campfire Chats, Hiking, Journaling, Quiet Time, Reiki, Connecting with other moms at a similar stage of Matrescence, and more!
This is for women who are 2-5 years postpartum. Whether you had your first or your last 2-5 years ago.
Our time together will not be rushed. The intention is to hold space for you to slow down, really reflect on matrescence and who you are, nurture yourself, and connect with other women doing the same.
We are so honored to get to celebrate, witness, and reflect on Matrescence with you!
