Full Moon Mamas!
Full Moon Mamas! is a ritual gathering for pregnant women and mothers held on or near the day of the Full Moon. This is a sacred space carved out for mothers to relate to the themes of this precious season of our lives in body, emotions, soul and sisterhood.
“I found Patrice’s groups to be the one space where I could let my shoulders fall, my guard drop, and my true emotions surface. I felt that I could say and feel anything, and it wouldn’t be deemed “wrong” or inappropriate. Her group not only served me in my pregnancy, but words from the women in the group who were already mamas echoed in my head as I nursed my newborn baby months later. I thought back to the strength of those mamas, and knew I could do it. Now that I have my little man, coming to Patrice’s groups has an even deeper joy for me… I love connecting with the other mamas, hearing the similarities, the differences, having a laugh, being acknowledged, and knowing that I am not alone. It is wonderful to find a space where authenticity is appreciated and tears are seen as a sign of strength. I am grateful to have crossed paths with such a wise, compassionate, and deeply spiritual teacher at this time in my life.”

Pregnancy is a wonderful, but busy time of preparation and anticipation. All of the hustle and bustle can sometimes leave you wondering, ‘what is all of this for? Is there really someone in there? Will I actually become a mother?’ Many pregnant women feel isolated and out of touch with the their femininity at a time when their femininity is ripe for discovery.
Don’t miss this opportunity to BE with other women. Take this time and space that is carved out for you monthly, to dive into the deeper meaning of these changes within you. Authentically connect with your body, yourself, and other women.
Early motherhood can be all consuming with blissful love, sleep loss, and dirty diapers, and for some, a feeling of isolation, identity loss, and frustration. Many of us feel that we are changing from the inside out as we blossom into motherhood. But all of these changes can leave us with very little time left over to actually process both the vulnerability and feminine power of this experience. Allow your household responsibilities, careers, and partnerships to be on hold for one afternoon each month as you dive in to yourself and a sisterhood of conscious, devoted mothers.
Weather you are a pregnant, nursing, working mama, or a mom of 6 year old that needs some time with women, please join us!
We cannot do this work of mothering alone, nor do we need to!
Pre-crawling babies are always welcome in our ritual of movement, sharing, and healing. You may come and go as needed to attend to naps, or unexpected parenting needs, etc.
You give day and night, treat yourself Mama! You deserve this!
