On this day we will honor both the gratitude and the grief thatMother’s Day can bring. This is a space to hold all emotions—without
pressure for closure.
We honor:
Those who gave life and those who shaped it
Anyone who nurtures with love, care, and presence
Mothers of children, flora & fauna, communities, and ideas
All forms of mothering—seen and unseen, chosen and unexpected
We also make space for grief:
Relationships that didn’t meet our needs
The loss of mothers or the chance to mother
The pain carried for ourselves and for Mother Earth
This gathering offers a simple ritual to honor your experience, time
for reflection, sharing, and being witnessed.
Journals will be provided. You’re invited to bring a meaningful item
(photo, memento, etc.) for the altar—it will be returned to you.
