INNER MOTHER DAY RETREAT
a journey into the heart
On June 16th we come together in community to explore & nourish the archetypal Mother within. This inherent part, present in all of us (regardless of gender or identification), can be a continuous source of unconditional love, warmth & compassion. When we tend to the Inner Mother, we create an inner anchor of safety & support on our healing journey.
The Inner Mother can hold us through intense & overwhelming sensations, emotions & experiences. She can sit with us, hold us, & listen. No agenda, just love. When we have experiences with chronic nervous system dysregulation due to past trauma or current stress, the Inner Mother can serve as as anchor for expanding our nervous system capacity and self-regulate.
The Inner Mother retreat is for those who:
- desire a more loving relationship with their body
- want to expand their nervous system capacity for inner safety, compassion & love through self- & co-regulation
- are curious about feminine embodiment
- want to explore somatic practices to unwind trauma & heal chronic freeze/dissociation & stress
- want to spend time in community
Practical
The retreat is held at De Melkerij in Herent. Depending on participants, it will be in English or Dutch. No yoga experience needed! All practices are accessible and I am devoted to creating a safe space for you to express yourself.
You can inform us of any food intolerances when you register.
