Processing Motherhood Day Retreat
Processing Motherhood Day Retreat
Processing Motherhood :: A day of rest, creative inquiry, self exploration, ritual, and solidarity amongst a community of mothers at Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs.
Sunday October 5th, 2025 :: 9am-5pm
Birthing or raising a child is perhaps the highest form of creativity possible. Matrescence, the transformative journey of becoming a mother, is inherently a creative process. Yet, the demands of motherhood can often deplete us, leaving little room for the unique ways we once expressed ourselves.
If you’re feeling detached from the creative outlets that make you feel uniquely you or missing the ways you explored creativity before motherhood, this day retreat will offer you a way back. Together, we’ll explore the paradoxical gap between being a mother and a creative individual and discover how to blend these worlds.
Through watercolor painting, journaling, and group discussions, we’ll delve into our experiences as mothers. Spending the entire day at Avalanche Ranch will give us the opportunity to mix in rest, ritual, time in nature, and self care. What a lovely combo. 💜💜💜
No prior painting experience is necessary. A beautiful art supply kit and a few other gifts are included. This day retreat is for expecting mothers and mothers of children of any age. In order to create a sacred and restful container, we are asking all moms to come without babies or kids in tow.
