Movement, Meditation & Motherhood: A Sacred Self-Care Immersion

September 8–10, 2023

Jocelyn Gordon

Mothers are the frequency holders of the household. As the common phrase says, “If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”

In this self-care immersion, mothers of all ages and stages — new moms, single mothers, empty nesters, and those who are ready to become mothers — gather for rest, reflection, and personal reset. Movement, breathwork, and ceremonial self-care provide sensual and centering practices that help clear and revitalize energy. Therapeutic journaling and wisdom circles help participants identify what truly matters. A meditation practice is encouraged for stress reduction and emotional wellbeing.

This journey includes contemplative and experiential circles exploring:

  • Motherhood as a spiritual path
  • Self-care and wellbeing rituals
  • Mindfulness in daily life
  • Insight for setting and resetting the tone, energy, and frequency of your heart and home

You will leave feeling seen and energized, and with a clear strategy for infusing your discoveries into your home life.

Included in your registration is a self-care list, habit tracker, and community connection via a dedicated Telegram group.
