Our time together will include yoga, meditation, self-reflection, open-hearted sharing, music, and songs about motherhood. We will engage in practices to help us reconnect with ourselves support one another on the incredibly meaningful journey of motherhood. If you are a mom who enjoys yoga, music, connecting with other women, and diving deeply into the river of creativity & wisdom within, then please consider attending this nourishing retreat. (This retreat is for moms with children of all ages, ranging from infants & toddlers to teens & adult children.)PLEASE NOTE: If there is enough interest, I would like to offer a 3-hour yoga workshop for mothers on a monthly basis, so please let me know if you would like to be a part of an ongoing group of mothers interested in yoga, mindfulness, music and deepening community.
