MamaMuse Retreat: group myth mending
Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain ~ C.G. Jung
You know there is a way… whether its getting your baby to sleep more, giving birth from a place of connection and empowerment, finding time for personal solitude, deciding where to send your children for school, or healing from a traumatic birth experience. You want to find more of the ease in mothering, the joy of parenting, and quit worrying and second guessing every decision. You have a stable parenting philosophy that you feel good about, but there are still spots on the parenting path that trip you up. You want to access your own inner wisdom rather than look to an outside expert for direction, but argh! there is so much to lose. When it comes to your children, it is hard to surrender because you care sooo much!
You’ve read books. You’ve read blogs and searched online. You may have even found some solutions that seem like a good fit for your family. You’ve heard so much advice you may have stopped talking about parenting issues with friends and family. You figure it is what it is. At least that’s better than the alternative of feeling like a failure with your children. Or, maybe you’re still trying things and are starting to hit a wall of exhaustion that only a mother can know….
If this sounds like you, then read on….
What ever it is, whatever you’ve tried…. The MamaMuse Retreat is different. You see, it’s more than just getting away and renewing yourself (although that is an important part of it). Its about getting together with a group of other parents to support the emergence of the right solution of each individual from the inside out. It is a dynamic process that is gentle, fun and efficient. Rather than adding another layer to the should pile you carry around, it gets to the root of things and untangles them, liberates energy, initiates clarity, and connects you to your own knowing.
Who MamaMuse Retreats are for:
- Women building their fertility
- Expectant mothers wanting to prepare for birth and new motherhood
- new and seasoned mothers
- Seasoned mothers
- daughters and grandmothers
What you’ll come away with:
- A visceral sense of your own solution
- Hope for your family… and your village
- A palpable feeling of resolution and empowerment
- The peace that comes from knowing that things CAN and HAVE been mended
What we’ll do at the Retreat:
- We will get oriented to the space, to each other, and to the process on the first evening.
- We will check in before starting each session.
- In turn, each person will identify and state an intention for the Retreat
- One at a time we will witness and support each other through a facilitated mending process (about 1-3 hours ~ they usually get faster as the workshop progresses as each session builds on the last session and supports the next one.)
- We will take time to integrate the experiential work we have done into our cognitive minds and mothering stories.
Other things we’ll do together:
- We will eat together, laugh together, and get to know each other in a slow, sustained and respectful way.
- Everything is optional. You will not ever be asked to do anything that feels unsafe or uncomfortable to you.
- Everyone is encouraged to take care of themselves and each other.
