Le Moment de Mères — Retreat II, Aug. 11th

$175.00

Some mornings are made to linger.

Join us on the grounds of Elawa Farm for the second gathering in our Le Moment de Mères retreat series — a half-day of learning, movement, and unhurried conversation designed for mothers who are ready to come back to themselves.

The morning opens with a keynote from Tesa Emmart, founder of Embody + Mind Collective, a Chicago-based clinical practice specializing in perinatal mental health, nervous system healing, and the relationship between early life experiences, motherhood, and identity. Her work sits at the intersection of science and the deeply personal — and her talk will leave you with language for things you've felt but couldn't quite name.

From there, we move outside for a courtyard yoga session led by Megan Schnell, a somatic yoga instructor and therapist. This is not a power flow. It's an invitation to arrive in your body — slowly, gently, and without an agenda.

We close with a fully gluten-free farm-to-table lunch on the grounds, complete with wine and cocktails, good conversation, and nowhere else to be.

9:00am — Arrival, appetizers, coffee + tea

10:00am — Keynote with Tesa Emmart

11:00am — Movement with Megan Schnell

12:00pm — Farm-to-table lunch

Tickets are limited. This is your morning.
