Finding Peace in Mothering Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)
July 26 @ 6:30 pm – July 28 @ 1:00 pm CDT
$180 – $255
In this weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), we will explore our “mothering journey,” not only how we currently mother, but also how we were mothered, and how we want to mother in the future. Join nurturers in community and conversations, rejuvenate, and relax through healing practices to send you home revitalized, resourced and reconnected.
Friday evening, we will spend some time getting to know each other, unwinding and caring for ourselves. Our Saturday includes gentle yoga movement, breathwork, time in nature and opportunities for connection, rest and self-reflection. After we wrap up on Sunday morning, you’ll find yourself refreshed and ready to return to your mothering role with fresh eyes and a plan to care for yourself.
Participants in this weekend retreat facilitated by Tammy Bayer and Rev. Jean Sullivan will gain a recognition of what influences their beliefs in their mothering values; identify parental beliefs vs. parental practices; be able to describe who they are at their core: before, during and after mothering; identify practices that will support them in “filling their own cup” for the long haul of mothering; explore mindful movement, relaxation techniques, guided meditation, energy work/chakras and grounding practices; and make connections in a warm and protected space.
Note: You do not have to be a birth mother to enjoy or benefit from this event. This is for anyone who mothers others. The cost of this weekend retreat is $255 and includes presentations, Friday and Saturday lodging, and Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch. The commuter fee is $180 and includes presentations, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch.
