The Aware Parenting Retreat

Join a beautiful, intimate group of like-minded mothers as we embark on a transformational journey together. Spend the whole weekend connecting in with yourself, and feel nurtured and supported while you explore the patterns and themes that are showing up in both your mothering and parenting. Be held and guided by your dedicated mentors, who have lovingly crafted a nourishing program to support you as you walk your path of healing.

During the weekend you will also explore how to bring more joy to parenting so you can thrive in the challenges that the motherhood journey brings, connect with other mothers, reflect and allow your body to integrate the healing, with plenty of time for restoration and inner reflection.

You will leave the retreat and return to your family feeling empowered and inspired, with a deeper connection to your authentic self and feel part of a beautiful community. You will develop deep, lifelong friendships with other aware parenting mothers. You will create a profound level of presence to cultivate more harmony in your family, and be equipped to embody the relationships with your child/ren and yourself that you yearn for.
