The Inner Arc of Matrescence: Deepening in Motherhood
Matrescence: Community Exploration for Second or Third Time Mothers
This offering is for you if you are deepening in you identity as a mother. This may look like already having one child, and being pregnant or in your first two years postpartum with your second babe. This may also look like having two or more children and adjusting to a life with three.
This program is an intimate group space where you will identify with yourself as the protagonist during this season of early motherhood. Through taking time to center yourself in the emergent becoming of matrescence, you'll honor your milestones and observe how motherhood is the canvas for your evolution. Each session will center around a topic, providing structure to pause, feel, reflect, see and be seen.

Why This, Why Now?
We live in a culture that rushes us out of transitions before they’ve had the chance to open. But matrescence—the becoming of a mother—is not a single moment, it’s a slow unfolding. This group exists to honor this intricate threshold.
