So much attention goes to meeting your baby — but not enough space is given to meeting your new self. This workshop creates that space.
About this Event

A grounding, supportive workshop for anyone in the postnatal period -- whether you just had a baby a few months ago or you have young kids!
What to Expect:
  • Gentle yoga + grounding breathwork
  • Mindfulness practices for daily life
  • Conversation around identity changes in motherhood
  • Creative exercises to reconnect with your evolving self
  • Supportive community with other mothers
  • Snacks and beverages
  • A mini clothing swap to explore personal style in a sustainable, fun way — bring 3–5 gently used postpartum-friendly pieces to exchange

Facilitators:

Vaishi (Seven Mothers): holistic occupational therapy focused on maternal well-being

Stephanie (Thrift the District): Sustainable stylist helping women use secondhand clothing as a tool for expression and confidence during life transitions.

Hosted in Partnership with Local Maternity Thread : Supporting local expecting families through operating maternity clothing closets and facilitating Village Groups for prenatal peer support and community-building.


Why This Collaboration Works:

Our shared missions — sustainability, community care, and honoring women’s evolving identities through life transitions — creates a vision for a world where maternity/nursing clothing and matrescence (the holistic process of becoming a mother) are given space to create a healthier community and a happier planet.
