The Inner Arc of Matrescence: A Group Therapeutic Exploration for Mothers
Matrescence: Community Exploration for Mothers
This offering is for mothers.
This offering is a space to re-identify with yourself as the protagonist of the unfolding, to center your emergent becoming in the narrative of matrescence. To see this season of your life not as behind the scenes to another person’s becoming, but as a long threshold moment of your own.
It’s about meaning-making and reimagining, tending to the complex terrain of identity, desire, grief, joy, and embodiment.
And it’s about being witnessed in that process—not just by a guide, but by a circle of others walking their own parallel thresholds.

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.
