I created Held: a Mother's Day Retreat for them… for my mom, and my mother-in-law.
As the oldest of seven, born to a mother who had me so young, I grew up holding more than I understood.
The last 7 years have been a journey of unraveling
grief that wasn’t named
pain that was passed down
stories that were never mine to carry
And slowly, I chose to release it.
Not to forget
but to free myself
and the women who came before me.
Today, I can hold space for them in a different way
with softness, with presence, with love.
This retreat is an honoring
a returning
a chance to finally say…
you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
In community, you are held
in the here and now
You are loved, protected and guided.
I invite you to bring your moms and come join us. This is a one-of-a-kind retreat conducted in the Hmong language.
Intentional with every hour to go slow, to listen, to turn inward.
There is no performance, just breathing and gentle movement.
