Mother Rising
A sacred day retreat for mothers
May 2026 10am - 3pm
Every mother deserves a day that tends to her the way she tends to everyone else.
Mother Rising is a full day devoted entirely to the mother — her healing, her body, her nourishment, her joy, and her community. A day where she arrives and simply receives. Where magical women tend to her baby while she exhales, connects, and remembers who she is.
Mothers of children of all ages are welcome. Babies and toddlers 0–24 months are welcome on site.
What awaits you
✦ Arrival into warmth — tea, cacao, and space to settle in
✦ A singing circle to open the heart and voice
✦ A movement class to wake up and inhabit your body again
✦ A workshop on sleep and the neuroscience of nurture
✦ A healing soup lunch — slow-cooked, nourishing, made by hand
✦ The Empress Altar — silks, flowers, and crowns to adorn yourself and be seen in your full power
✦ A closing circle to integrate, witness, and celebrate
✦ Fairy godmothers tending little ones throughout so you can simply be present
Optional private sessions with our healers available to book separately — bodywork, holistic pelvic care, and more
This day is for you
Whether you are deep in the fog of new motherhood or years in and still finding your way back to yourself — you belong here.
Mothers of children of all ages are welcome. If your babe is 0–24 months they are welcome to be on site with you, held and tended by our fairy godmothers. Older children are lovingly asked to stay home for this one.

The philosophy
Postpartum care rooted in the belief that a held mother thrives — slow-cooked meals, bodywork, a tended home, and steady presence through the early weeks so you can emerge as your most life-giving self.
Mother Rising was created by Christianna Marie, postpartum practitioner and somatic coach serving families in Marin County. This is the vision she has carried since becoming a mother herself — that when mothers are truly held, everything changes. For them, for their children, and for the generations to come.
FAQs
Can I bring my baby?
Yes — babies and toddlers 0–24 months are welcome and integral to the day. Fairy godmothers are on hand throughout to hold, play with, and tend to little ones so you can be fully present.
What about older children?
Mothers of children of all ages are warmly welcome. For this day we ask that children over 24 months stay home so the space can be fully held for mothers and their youngest ones.
What if my baby needs me?
Always. You are never separated from your baby. The space is designed so you can move between your baby and your own experience fluidly.
What should I bring?
Yourself, your baby, and anything they need for the day. We take care of everything else.
Are scholarship tickets really free?
Yes. Just send us a message — no proof, no judgment. We believe every mother deserves this day.
