Includes:

🌺Motherhood Sharing Circle

Mother Rise will begin with a connecting women's circle to create a safe and sacred container for you to rest, listen and share. You will feel seen, heard and witnessed in your motherhood journey.

🌺Parenting support

I will share some of the foundations of aware and conscious parenting to help you move towards more connection with your children without threats, punishment and bribery and to help you build your emotional awareness as a mother.

And also honouring the reality of how hard this can be - it takes practice and lots of self compassion.

This includes

- The healing power of tears and tantrums

- What is holding space and empathic listening

- Setting loving limits

- Connection before correction

🌺Matrescence

We will then discuss the Matrescence journey - your transformation within motherhood - and how we can all work towards honouring your important role in society more. This will include some journalling on your motherhood journey and family vision.

🌺Self care

Radical self care is vital for a mother to feel well and nourished.

We will look at some very simple practices you can implement in your everyday motherhood to get your needs met.

🌺Restorative meditation

The afternoon will close with a gentle restorative meditation
