Matrescence

Matrescence refers to the physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition to becoming a mother.  A season of life when limits are tested and change is a constant, all wrapped up in the joy of raising tiny humans.

This time more than ever is one that should be shared. Join us in a weekly mother circle to listen, honor, support and meditate with other mothers.  Led by April Trettel, doula and therapist, each circle will focus on a dedicated theme and incorporate sharing, discussion, an exercise and guided meditation.

Unlike our Postpartum Support Group, this circle is designed for all mothers and open to all people who identify as mothers.

Each Matrescence Circle is a series of 3 weekly meetups in our beautiful cozy space in Pasadena.

$150 per person per series

In today’s world we need to proactively understand our existing support system, nurture relationships, and forge our own village. Come relate and uncover.
