Motherhood changes us; quietly, profoundly, again and again. This month, we invite new, emerging, and seasoned mothers to join us for an educational workshop at the Mugs for Moms studio space to explore the identity shifts that unfold through matrescence: the passage into motherhood that reshapes the nervous system, the heart, the body, the dreams we hold, and the way we belong to ourselves.

Together, we’ll reflect on the Seasons of Matrescence and identify where each of us is currently rooted: the tenderness, the transformation, the thresholds we’re navigating. With gentle guidance and space for sharing, we’ll connect with our inner landscape around mothering and integrate with plant-based crafting and an herbal tea bar. 

During this workshop we will:
- Open in circle + community connection

- Learn about matrescence as a rite of passage

- Reflect on which season you are moving through

- Create a tea-light candle holder with pressed flowers (all materials provided)

- Close with grounding insight, shared reflection, and a personalized herbal tea bag (or two) for a take-home evening ritual

Facilitators:
Louise Harkins, Mapping Matrescence: Matrescence Guide + Coach

Clare Parks, EdD: Holistic Health Educator, Birth Worker + Herbalist
