Wild + Rooted: Mama & Me
Nature Workshop Series
All ages welcome! Our series is catered to our littlest ones, but always modifiable.
A slow morning gathering for mothers and their little ones
This series is as much for you as it is for your child.
Creekside in the great outdoors we will make a tiny sanctuary — for mamas to exhale, for babies to explore.
Wild + Rooted is a four-week workshop designed to offer mothers a soft place to land. A pause in the week to exhale, reconnect, and be nurtured in the presence of nature and community. While your child explores gentle, sensory-rich activities, you’ll be invited to move slowly, breathe deeply, and rest in the beauty of the moment.
This isn’t just a playgroup. It’s a nervous system reset. A chance to be held while you hold so much. A weekly reminder that you matter, too.
A 4-week nature series for mamas + littles
[ages 3+ check out our nature club!]
Session activities are planned around a picture book we will read aloud at the start of the session. Children will have access to rock “painting” with water, nature “pizza” making, object sorting, and counting activities as they settle in or finish up the planned activities. Creek time is everyone’s favorite way to end the morning.
