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.
