DESCRIPTION

Shauna Devlin and Lori Austein lead mothers and their daughters (11 and up) in a weekend of connection, communication,and celebration. In a beautiful retreat setting, we take the time to nourish our relationship and learn how to respect and understand each other more compassionately. No other relationship comes close to the one we share with the woman who mothered us or the daughter we mothered. It has the potential to make or break us – often both at the same time. Generational differences separate us, familial similarities connect us. It’s a love that can be one of our greatest comforts, supporting us throughout our lives. Through ceremony, storytelling, art, dance, nature and exercises in communication, we gain skills that build bridges and nourish our hearts through the pre-teen years and beyond. We will enjoy time alone as well as with our beloved other and with all who gather. We will honour our female ancestors, celebrate the joys and sorrows we share, and find new ways to bring ritual and meaning to this special bond.
