A half-day retreat for mothers & their toddlers
You were never meant to do this alone
For most of human history, children were raised by many hands — grandmothers, sisters, aunties, neighbours. The village was never a luxury; it is how we are made. Today so many of us mother in isolation, carrying alone what was always meant to be shared.
So come. Be held for a while.
Why we gather
A circle to come home to your body
Held is a half-day gathering for mothers and their little ones — breathwork, belly and womb self-massage, and sauna, shared in a circle of women. Warmth, softness and nourishment, with your toddler close by.
When women sit together, something in the body recognises it. Our nervous systems settle in the presence of others who feel safe — a calm face, a steady voice, a breath that slows beside ours. Researchers have even described women's instinct under stress to tend and befriend: to turn toward one another.
In a circle of mothers, you don't have to explain. You are witnessed, and you witness. That is where the medicine lives.
What we'll share
Three ways back into your body
Conscious connected breathwork
A guided, continuous breath that invites the nervous system to soften, and gently releases what we've been holding.
Sauna
Deep, enveloping warmth to sweat, soften and rest into. Long-term studies from Finland link regular sauna bathing with heart health and wellbeing.
Toddlers welcome
Come as you are — little one included
You don't need to arrange childcare to receive care. Your toddler is part of the day, playing and exploring close by. We'll hold the little ones together as a circle — mothers supporting one another — and a dedicated carer will be there throughout to give extra support, so you can truly drop in to the breathwork and sauna.
The shape of the day
We'll let the day flow at its own pace, moving between practices in two small groups.
