tentative schedule

  • Our day will begin with sharing, intention setting, and holding space for you to be taken care of instead of taking care of others.

  • We’ll invite you to engage in an embodiment practice, moving only at the pace that you are comfortable.

  • An expressive arts practice will allow you to process your thoughts, feelings, and reflections in a new way.

  • Our ending ritual will invite you to reflect upon the day and feel enveloped by the new relationships that you have begun to develop.

FAQs

  • This retreat is designed for moms with children under 12 months old. If you have special circumstances and would like to connect further, please reach out.

  • You are welcome to bring your baby with you, but keep in mind that the purpose of the retreat is to connect with yourself individually, so consider if you’d like to have the day to yourself or if you’d like to arrange for childcare so that you can really sink into the day. Of course, motherhood is unpredictable, so we understand if things come up that require you to bring your little one along. If this is the case, please reach out to us in advance to see how we can help.

  • If you are interested in registering, please email Teresa Quinn, either through this website or directly at teresa@teresaquinnlcsw.com. She will set up a short phone call with you to answer any questions you have about the retreat and provide more information.

  • The total cost of the retreat is $250. A $50 deposit is required to secure your spot for the retreat, and the remaining $200 is due one week before the retreat itself.

  • Of course! Please share the retreat information with any other new moms that you think could benefit. Both you and your friend should reach out to Teresa to set up a time to connect in order to register.

  • A nourishing breakfast will be provided to begin our day together. Snacks, tea, and coffee will also be available throughout the day.
