“Still Her Daughter”
Her Love remains, your identity endures
A day of honoring and celebrating the legacy of our mothers, who have passed on.
This half day experience will create an intimate space for women to reflect on the impact of their losses, assess where they are in their healing journey and how to navigate life without their mother.
Intentionally curated for all wherever you find yourself on this journey; the day includes storytelling from women who have lost their mothers, community conversations; guided activities and a beautiful community closing.
GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING IS NOW OPEN!
