Dear readers,
Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers, and also to all of you who mother and nurture others! And welcome to all of our new subscribers!
I am over here, nurturing my garden, one that I started to plant this year with my family. Last weekend's planting was tomatoes, peppers and kitchen herbs- yum! I am particularly excited about the tomatillos. :) As I garden, I consider how this practice is also mothering those parts of me that need some extra nourishment right now. Doing these every day "chores" with some intention has transformed many of them into more pleasurable and nourishing activities.
In other forms of mothering, I have also been invited to nurture some beautiful and bold work with my business consulting clients- including supporting cultural humility conversations, and advancing the voices of women in underrepresented spaces- it has been a true pleasure. I humbly thank and honor my loyal and steadfast clients who give me the opportunity to do this work every year- thank you!
I am thrilled to share a few updates with you about upcoming happenings. First of all, our annual Matriarch Makeover retreat registration will open next month, on June 10, 2025! My co-facilitator, Catherine Lovella, and I had a chance to be on the land last week and to weave the basket that will hold this working retreat for women. If you are interested, Sign up for the waitlist to get early notification of the registration opening. The retreat will be Sept 19-21.
Finally, for those who cannot connect in person, in August I will begin to offer an online drop-in course, based on the teachings of the book. More details to come in July. Please drop me a line in the Matriarch Member Circle, or via email, if you have any suggestions on offerings I should consider. I love hearing from you!
With love,
Maija
