Le Moment de Mères — Retreat I

$275.00

Retreat I opens on the morning of July 25th at Elawa Farms with coffee, tea, and light bites — a gentle start before the morning unfolds.

The gathering opens with a keynote from with a keynote from Chandler Ashcraft — wife, mother, entrepreneur, and the founder behind MomsAway — on reclaiming yourself inside the identity of motherhood. Her candor and warmth set the tone for the morning that follows.

From there, the group moves outside for a courtyard Pilates session led by Dr. Rachel Miller, PT, DPT, whose work at the intersection of physical therapy and movement brings both rigor and gentleness to the hour. The morning closes with a shared farm lunch prepared by Chef Lee Kuebler, with wine and beer to accompany — a meal meant to be savored, not rushed.

Space is intentionally limited. This is not a conference. It is not a workshop. It is a morning that belongs entirely to you.
