Mindful Mama Sangha
​
​Sangha is the Pali and Sanskrit word meaning "community" and is most commonly used in Buddhism to indicate the monastic community of ordained Buddhist monks or nuns. In the Mindful Mama Sangha retreat, we will build our own sangha- or community- of support for each other. 

Moms work so hard taking care of everybody else and often forget to give themselves the time and space to renew. Many challenges are unique to moms and whether you work in the house or outside of the house or both, there is no question that motherhood is exhausting. Let's take a step out of our normal routines and take a step towards joy and ease. Give yourself the gift of retreat. 

Retreat is the ideal opportunity to renew the spirit, mind and body, while learning some new self-care strategies based on mindfulness and self-compassion. We will learn what mindfulness and self-compassion are, how to cultivate these qualities in yourself and how to bring them to all of your many roles- parent, partner, daughter, friend, employee....  Mindfulness has been shown to increase happiness, reduce illness and pain, and improve mental health. Self-compassion increases resilience and makes living life in your own head a lot more pleasant. And of course no gathering of women is complete without a significant amount of fun too.  

Judgment takes a break here, and we invite no pretenses. Just bring the real you- beautiful, and perfectly imperfect.  This weekend retreat will give you the space and time to shed the responsibility of being anybody but your true self.

Remembering who you really are, and committing to bringing your true self back to life in your daily life.
