Tend: A Movement Circle for Mothers is a monthly series on 2nd Thursdays designed to help m/others at any age and stage of parenting to examine common motherhood challenges and unleash the unique gifts this experience offers in the context of a supportive community. Each session will incorporate gentle yoga, somatic exercises, reflective writing and conversation for an embodied approach to rebuilding the lost art of "the village".

Session themes may include topics like: the perfect mother myth, rage, grief, inhabiting our bodies, finding real rest, reclaiming the matriarchy, unleashing our creativity, tapping into nature, trusting our inner knowing, and more. The intent is for this to be an ongoing series with registration in four-month blocks so we can foster a consistent community that allows for openness and depth.

This series is for anyone who is a parent and is facing the social pressures of motherhood regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or genetic connection to their child. Devon offers another series, Held: Navigating the Journey into Motherhood, which is specifically geared toward those with any children under five years old and lays a foundation for understanding the holistic changes that come with motherhood. Held is not a prerequisite for Tend, but it is a great place to start if you can't decide between the two.
