Wild Return New Moms* Nature Group

Wild Return is a facilitated six or eight-week journey where new moms meet in nature settings for deep sharing circles, gentle hikes, and mindful practices to replenish and reconnect with themselves while building community and caring for their babies.

Wild Return follows the heroine’s journey as a framework and views childbirth as a rite of passage. The group is structured around an ancient myth which supports the re-awakening and activation of intuition, instinct and innate wisdom following the initiation into motherhood/parenthood.

In recognition that motherhood does not happen in isolation, weekly themes help participants explore identity shifts, key relationships and family dynamics, including partnerships and co-parenting.

*Though we alternate with the terms mothers, birthing people, gestational parents, this group is for any parent--inclusive of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identification, relationship status, age or other intersectionalities--who has given birth in the last 4 weeks to 9 months and their baby, regardless of how many children they have already birthed or raised.

Intimate. Nonjudgmental. Supportive. Safe. Unbound.

All you need is a baby carrier, sturdy shoes and warm layers. You take care of your baby and we take care of you.

• Because you don’t have to be stuck at home just because you have a baby. 
• Because you can experience freedom and connection, mindfulness and sisterhood/kinship, feed you body and your spirit. 
• Because time in nature doesn’t need to feel intimidating or unrealistic. 
• Because you can nurture your baby and be nourished at the same time.

Eight Sessions starting Tuesday, March 18. 11am-1pm. Locations vary by week, but include Glen Canyon Park, Golden Gate Park and the Presidio.
