Migrating into Motherhood
A Process Group for New Mothers
Come join this circle of women 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 this transitional season. Each week we will explore the Four Elements of Radical Transformation (from Jessie Harrold’s Mothershift), while holding space for one another to process, reflect, and connect.
Weekly Themes:
Introduction to Matrescence
Earth Phase: Orienting to Change
Water Phase: Navigating All the Feels
Air Phase: Finding Your Wings
Fire Phase: Exploring Your New Identity
Ritual and Sending
Together we will slow down and make meaning of this season of change.
