Birth Queen: Rest, Revive, and Release Your Power

As mothers, we wear a lot of crowns. Crowns are majestic and beautiful but also heavy, and we deserve to take them off sometimes and center ourselves.

Do you find yourself saying, “I need to make time for self-care”? Time to work out, for nails, for hair, time with friends, or even just time alone? You are busy, tired, talented, overwhelmed, overworked, and divine. You deserve time to be with yourself and in community with other mothers — to be still, to process, to heal, and to grow. We invite you to come to Esalen for this incredible wellness weekend created specifically for mothers — to move, to meditate, to process your birth, to strengthen your pelvic floor, and to activate your dreams.

The ultimate goal of this weekend together is for each of us to leave rested, revived, and seated in our power as a Birth Queen. 

Together, we will: 

• Connect to the earth and be in the tranquility of the outdoors. 
• Move mindfully and with the support of our pelvic floor and transverse abdominal muscles. 
• Enjoy the gift of sharing time and space with other mothers to heal, grow, and learn from one another. 

Mothering with the support of a village enables us to not just survive but to thrive. We will have an opportunity for yoga, pilates, strength training, meditation, nature walks, small group discussions, and, most importantly, peaceful rest. Bring your loved ones and give yourself the gift of a weekend of healing, laughter, sweat, and new beginnings. Center yourself and prepare to release your power into the world. What are you giving birth to next, Queen?
