While we build, we gather.
A curated series of retreats, experiences, and community gatherings — designed for modern mothers, coming to the North Shore this summer.
Our 12,000-square-foot flagship is taking shape. But we couldn't wait until 2027 to start building what matters most: community.
This summer, Novo Mere is hosting an intimate series of experiences across Chicagoland — from half-day farm retreats to mother-and-child mornings, expert-led workshops, and evenings made for connection. Each one is thoughtfully designed, intentionally small, and created with you in mind.
Join the Founding Community for first access to tickets.
Tickets release soon. Founding Community members receive priority access 48 hours before the public.
Summer Series
Le Moment de Meres: A Novo Mere Signature Retreat
A moment that belongs entirely to you.
Le Moment de Mères — A Moment for Mothers — is Novo Mere's signature retreat experience. Set on the grounds of Elewa Farms, each gathering brings together a small group of women for a half-day of movement, nourishment, and honest conversation about the realities of modern motherhood.
These are not networking events. They are not wellness seminars. They are mornings designed to restore you — and remind you that care is not something you earn after everyone else is taken care of. It is something you deserve, simply because you are here.
Three editions. Three themes. One through line: you, fully present, for a few hours that belong entirely to yourself.
Bebe & Mere: Mother & Child Experiences
For the mornings you want to share.
Bébé & Mère is a series of intimate mother-and-child experiences designed for the earliest years — when everything is new, a little messy, and completely worth showing up for.
Each gathering is led by an expert in their field and designed for children from newborn through age five. Small groups. Unhurried mornings. The kind of time together that feels like you actually got to be present for it.
After each session, mothers have time to connect while children play. Because the relationships you build in these rooms matter too.
