DAY RETREAT LOGISTICS
NOURISH & NURTURE ~ APRIL 8, 2023
Welcome mamas! We are so excited to retreat with you!
As you know, the theme of this retreat is “Nourish and Nurture” so we’ll be spending time tending to our hearts, softening, opening and awakening ourselves in a new and revitalized way. A pre-retreat contemplation guide has been created for you. It is intended to support you as you prepare to be in retreat space. Please use at your discretion only if it serves you and your path at this time.
Access the Day Retreat Contemplation Guide here.

Mama Altar
We will have a central altar for the retreat so we ask each of you to bring 2 special things:
- A token/item that represents this time in your life or a certain transformation you’re undergoing to put on the altar (this can be a piece of jewelry, artifact, art, photo, etc.). You will take this back home with you
- An organic item that you’d like to add to the offering we make at the end of the retreat (this can be a leaf, flower, wood, thread, ashes, etc.) This offering is customary after we’ve done some soulful healing work throughout the weekend and we will offer it either to the earth, water or fire. You may also opt to find your offering during the nature walk.
Emergencies
The nearest hospitals are Foothills Hospital and Boulder Community Hospital if you’d like to investigate further.
