Hey, busy mama. When’s the last time you pressed pause?

✨ Take a breath. Invite slowness. ✨
When was the last time you had a break that wasn’t a trip to the grocery store… a quick walk squeezed in between juggling childcare with your partner…or a night out that left you even more tired?

The Mamas Mini Retreat is an afternoon carved out just for you — a calm, nourishing reset in the midst of busy motherhood.

Gentle movement, deep rest, warm connection, and space to breathe again.

Because tending to yourself isn’t a luxury — it’s what makes everything else possible. 🌿

💗 Join the next Mama Mini Retreat — for less than the cost of a massage, and worth so much more!

Have you had a baby in the last few months? Joining a circle for new mothers can feel like a big step.

🩵 Maybe you don’t feel ready to leave the house. We know what being overwhelmed and isolated can feel like.
🩵Or maybe you’re doing well, but would like to have a few mom friends to chat with.

🩵 Our circle circles are a gentle step forward to help you ease into your motherhood with confidence and connection.
🩵This is the place to show up still in your pajamas, sometimes with tears or a screaming baby.
🩵Each week will include dedicated time for grounding, sharing, listening, and growing.

🩵Make this six week group your special space.

✨ As a special treat for this session, anyone joining will receive a complimentary ticket to our next Eat, Sleep, Repeat breakfast (normally $25) and unlimited free passes to our Rooted Strength class for the duration of your circle (normally $20).

📆 6 weeks beginning Friday 10/31 10-11:30AM

Cost: $215 or sliding scale
SLIDE15: $182.75
SLIDE30: $150.50
SLIDE45: $118.25
Full scholarships available

We know that grief can take many forms. It may come after the death of a loved one—a child, a parent, a partner—or from losing a version of ourselves, a relationship, or a way of life. However it shows up, it deserves space and care.

We’re honored to welcome Marguerite Johnson, a long-time local facilitator who has held the Mending Babyloss Group in Bellingham for many years. Together, we’ve created a gentle, non-faith-based four-week circle for anyone walking with grief or loss in any form.

This group begins October 30 and meets for four weeks Thursdays at 9:00-10:30am.
The investment is $85, with sliding-scale options (SLIDE15, SLIDE30, SLIDE45) and full scholarships available upon request.

If you or someone you love has been carrying loss and longing for connection, this is a chance to be witnessed and supported in community.
