Being a mother is all encompassing - we change profoundly through the process, we give up so much of ourselves, our time, our energy, our focus. We are the centre of someone else's life for a long time and we give up being the centre of our own in order to meet that. Becoming a mother is a really tangible process, as well as being a profound inner process. The belly grows, people can see it happening, it is noticed and hopefully celebrated, there is a baby and then a child. And the process of holding and encouragement begins. Gradually over the years the child becomes a young person and they need us less, want us less, step into their independence more and more. This emerging from active motherhood has less tangible - more like the tide going out. It often coincides with changes in our bodies which can be challenging.
Acknowledgement of the momentousness of this emerging for us is rare, celebration of it rarer still.
So much of mothering itself is unseen and under appreciated. Many of our most challenging moments or greatest achievements are not witnessed. The emerging has no public face and can often leave us feeling a bit lost and confused. This weekend is an invitation to meet this. To recognise and honour the journey of motherhood. To honour all that it has gifted and all it has taken. And to consciously meet the threshold that is 'emerging from motherhood'
The weekend will be held at Noddfa - which translates as sanctuary - in beautiful North Wales. We will be working with various embodied practises, sound journey, sharing, mediation and meeting the incredible gardens. Obviously the weekend is only two days and the motherhood journey is long so there only so much we can meet in this time. And the very act of choosing to give yourself space to acknowledge this process and honour the mother you are and have been is profound.
If your child is a young person and you feel the relationship changing, if your child is leaving home, if your child has left and you still feel the loss, if you just feel the call to honour the journey this retreat is for you.
Exchange for this weekend is tiered to accommodate differing financial situations - full £400, reduced £350, concession £300
includes accommodation and meals.
