Are you the mom who makes it all happen?

The one holding it all together - managing everyone's schedules, keeping all the plates spinning, making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What if the exhaustion you feel isn't a personal failing, but the result of cultural systems that were never designed to support you?

Join Bonnie Alina and Morgan Pace Bolton for an evening that goes far beyond the typical mom's night out.

Your Journey from Doing to Being

This isn't just another wellness event. It's a transformative evening that addresses the root causes of why mothering feels so relentless.

Through gentle teaching, we'll explore the cultural narratives and systems that keep us disconnected from our innate wisdom, pleasure, and power.

You'll move through a carefully crafted journey:

We begin with teachings that illuminate why you feel responsible for everything. From there, we move into journaling and intimate sharing that helps you process and integrate. As the evening unfolds, we shift into practical tools for accessing your natural vitality and joy - culminating in a high-vibe dance celebration where you get to embody the freedom and pleasure you've been learning about all evening.

What's Included:

  • Gentle teachings on the cultural systems keeping you in overdrive
  • Deep connection with other mothers seeking more than playground small talk
  • Guided practices to tap into your natural vitality and joy
  • Sacred space for journaling and optional sharing
  • Intuitive movement and embodied practices
  • A judgment-free space to explore movement and dance (no experience necessary)
  • Delicious beverages and nourishing snacks
  • Practical tools for accessing pleasure and presence in daily life

Is This Evening For You?

This gathering welcomes all who identify as moms and are:

  • Making it all happen but craving permission to just be
  • Interested in understanding the systemic roots of their constant doing
  • Ready to explore pleasure, joy, and flow in motherhood
  • Seeking deeper connections with like-minded women
  • Curious about deconstructing hustle culture and reconnecting with their feminine power
  • Open to trying something new - no dance or movement experience necessary

What to Bring:

  • Journal and pen
  • Comfortable clothes for movement that make you feel amazing while allowing you to sit on the floor and move freely
  • An open mind
