Peaceful Mama:

Retreat to Joshua Tree

with Claire Zurbrugg

Dear Mama, 

Can your support system allow you to get away for 3 nights with other moms to practice yoga, explore the breathtaking desert, eat nourishing rainbow colored meals and deepen our support and friendship networks? 

This retreat is designed for mothers of young children and other parents who don’t conform to traditional binary roles but have birthed children from their bodies as well as foster/adoptive mothers. In this busy season of life where both deep love and exhaustion meet, we will gather together, build community and both see and be seen by one another.

From the bottom of my heart, please join us.

Love,

Claire

Mama of Liam (4 months), Henry (4 years) and Bellingham Yoga Collective (5 Years)
