À propos de cet événement
Most spaces ask mothers to step away from their children.
This one was created so you don’t have to.
— ABOUT THIS GATHERING —
This gathering was created in a different way.
A space where you don’t have to choose between your path and your child – where healing, connection, and celebration happen together.
Where motherhood is not something you step out of to grow…
but something you are deeply supported inside of.
Pregnant women are also warmly welcomed to connect, feel inspired, and begin weaving community even before their baby arrives.
— THE EXPERIENCE —
This is a guided and held day, where we gather as women and mothers — with our children — inside a shared field of presence.
Throughout the day, we will move through:
• a connection circle
• cacao ceremony
• optional microdosing (ChocoBliss – for mothers only)
• Creative Art expression (with and alongside the children)
• music and gentle movement
• herbal bath & cleansing ritual
This day is about:
→ softening back into presence
→ reconnecting with your child
→ and allowing yourself to be held as a mother
A space where healing and celebration are no longer separate.
— WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT —
Spaces like this are still rare.
Here, your child is not outside of your process; they are part of it.
You are not asked to divide yourself between being a mother and being a woman on a path.
Instead, we begin to remember something more natural:
Children are held by the village.
Mothers are supported by one another.
And something in the nervous system can finally soften.
— A SPECIAL GIFT —
Each mother & child will receive a portrait photo, taken by our photographer - a beautiful image to take home and honor the path you are walking together.
There will also be the option to book a private 20-minute photo session with our photographer, offered at a special rate for participants
(details shared after registration).
— FOOD —
If the weather allows, we will share an outdoor picnic.
Food will be offered in a potluck style – a simple and beautiful way to connect and nourish one another.
— WHO THIS IS FOR —
• Mothers with babies and children (0–7 years)
• Pregnant women
• Women who feel called into a more conscious, connected experience of motherhood
This space is for women who feel:
→ a desire for real connection (not surface-level)
→ the need to be supported without separating from their child
→ a longing to experience motherhood in a more natural, held, and human way

— FAQ —
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
Tickets are non-refundable.
If you cannot attend, you are welcome to transfer your ticket to another woman.
Q: What is ChocoBliss?
ChocoBliss is a blend of ceremonial cacao with a very small microdose of truffles, designed to gently support inner awareness, emotional openness, and connection.
The cacao works on the heart, while the microdose can help soften mental barriers and deepen presence — always in a grounded and supported way.
Q: Do I have to take the microdose?
No. Taking the ChocoBliss is completely optional.
You are fully welcome to participate in the entire experience without it.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication that affects the nervous system (such as antidepressants or similar), we recommend not taking the microdose.
If you are unsure, please feel free to reach out before booking.
Q: Is this a psychedelic or intense experience?
No. This is not a psychedelic journey.
The amount used is a microdose, meaning:
→ you remain fully aware
→ grounded in your body
→ able to care for yourself and your child
Q: Do I need experience with microdosing?
No. This space is open to both beginners and those with prior experience.
You will be gently guided throughout the day.
Q: What if I feel called but finances are a barrier?
If you feel a genuine call to join but are experiencing financial limitations, you are welcome to reach out.
In some cases, we may be able to offer a payment plan.
