Mother Respite: Rest & Nourish Women Mothering Through Adoption

Adoptive motherhood holds so much—love, devotion, complexity, and often an invisible weight that few people truly understand. This 90-minute gathering is an invitation for adoptive mothers to step into a shared space of rest, refuge, and quiet connection. Together we will co-create a gentle environment where nothing needs to be fixed or explained. Through simple movement, grounding practices, and moments of reflection, we will slow down enough to notice ourselves and each other. This is not therapy and not a "class". Instead, it is a collective experience—an opportunity to be present in your body, to settle your nervous system, and to connect in a space that honors the depth of the adoptive mothering journey. You are welcome to come exactly as you are. There will be space to breathe, to listen, to witness and be witnessed—without pressure and without expectations. A circle of women, gathering for a little while to rest, reconnect, and remember that you are not alone.
