Becoming & Belonging: a time to honor pregnancy, birth, and the first years of motherhood
Advertisement
Becoming & Belonging, a day retreat hosted by Mindful Matrescence, is created for folks who are pregnant, newly postpartum, or moving through the early years of motherhood.
“Becoming” because that’s exactly what you’re doing. No matter where you find yourself along the matrescence continuum, you are transforming.
You are alchemizing.
You are embodying what it means to expand, release, create, and integrate.
“Belonging” because maybe that’s what you’re craving. We’re always asking ourselves, “where is the village?”
Consider that for our generation the village must be built, not found.
And maybe we don’t have to start from square one. Maybe all we need is an opportunity to gather and see what already exists between us.
Each of us will arrive carrying something different — questions, tenderness, exhaustion, joy, grief, rage, experience, hope — and together we will cultivate a space where we can slow down, tune in, and honor the shared experience of matrescence.
Throughout our day you will be invited into:
-facilitated circle sharing
-gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation
-guided and open time in nature
-ritual, reflection, and integration practices
-connection with local reproductive health practitioners
-nourishing food, warm beverages, and spacious conversation
Whether you are awaiting your baby’s arrival, integrating your birth experience, or finding your footing in the early years of motherhood, we honor all that you are Becoming.
Now, let us see you Belonging, too.
