Come join this circle of new mothers in their first year of motherhood. The migration into motherhood—often called matrescence—is one of the most profound rites of passage in a woman’s life. It can be beautiful, disorienting, expansive, and overwhelming all at once.

This therapist-led, process group offers a soft place to land as you navigate the many changes that come with motherhood. Each group will hold a space for reflection and sharing, exploring relevant topics, and connection. 

Weekly Themes:

1. Grounding: Introduction to Matrescence

2. New Wings: Identity as a Mother

3. Steadying: Relationships

4. Uplifting: Connecting to the Body

5. Navigating: The Work of a Mother

6. Aligning: Ritual and Sending

Together, we will slow down, reflect, and make meaning of this season of change.
