mother daughter retreat

Celebrate Mother's Day with a sweet retreat for you and your daughter!
Enjoy real talk, new friends, nature time, and meaningful connections.

Picture
The mother-daughter relationship is one of the most important and complex relationship in our lives. It’s a life long gift. And like most things that shape and grow us, the relationship includes challenges as well… especially during the budding teen years. It's a wild ride to navigate being a teen AND parent in these times, not to be attempted alone!

This retreat is an opportunity to get quality time together, receive support, grow your connection to each other, and feel part of a community of pre/teen girls* and women. The day will include play, honest conversations, time to reflect in nature and to connect with just moms (or grandmas!) and daughters, as well as all together.

Helping girls navigate the complex landscape of being an embodied girl in these times.
Supporting mamas as guides and allies to their daughters and to each other.

Real Talk is...

  • Fun, meaningful, educational and inspiring
  • Led in an age and developmentally appropriate way that supports girls to ask honest questions, share experiences, and illuminates the inherent wisdom of the group
  • Facilitated by skilled non-parent mentor to maintain a welcoming space for all backgrounds and levels of experience
  • Inclusive of girls and female-bodied folx who are exploring their sexual and gender identity

Real Talk for teens...

  • How do I cultivate friendships and intimate relationships that are meaningful and supportive?
  • How do we have experiences of joy without regret?
  • How are we influenced by cultural forces of sex, gender, and media?
  • What's the connection between how I treat myself and how others treat me?
  • What does it really feel like to state my needs? How do I know what I want?
  • Who am I behind all the masks, really?
  • How do we cultivate intuition and learn to follow our instincts?

Real Talk for mamas...

  • What do teens want? What do they need? And how can we support them?
  • How do I cultivate a meaningful relationship with my teen?
  • What is my story and how do my experiences reflect in my parenting?
  • How are we all influenced by cultural forces of sex, gender, and media?
  • What is my role as they become (more) sexually active, risk taking, etc?
  • How do I hold and live my various identities and roles, as mama, partner, woman, etc?


In their own words...

"It's nice to see my daughter step outside herself and learn new things about her. It's nice to have dedicated space to just be with her. Thank you for doing a great job "seeing" everyone and holding the space." - Mother-Daughter Mama

"Emily brings such a wonderful energy to our group. She is gentle yet in charge. I love this monthly opportunity to show my daughter that right now, she is the center of my world. In daily life, I rarely have that time." - Mother-Daughter Mama
Picture

"Quetzal, You are such a skilled facilitator! I learn a lot from you. Your lovely retreat inspired me to slow down and pointed out how much harder it is to stay present when we don’t stop doing doing stuff. Thank you." - Mother-Daughter Mama
Picture

"I really see the girls being comfortable with who they are. There are not enough spaces for that, it seems. It is a true gift that you offer them with us mothers. Thank you for providing that." - Mother-Daughter Mama
