With so much emphasis in our western culture on the body and only a tiny piece considering the mind, where does that leave the spirit? We believe in a holistic model for life which includes a well rounded chart of body, mind and spirit. Realizing how much information we already have on our bodies (such as good nutrition, exercise, etc.), we are ready to dive into the more mysterious topics of mothering such as mindfulness and spirituality.
And just for the record, spiritual mothering is not necessarily religious in nature. Spirit, as a part of the holistic model, is a component of our whole selves. For centuries this has been confused with religion and sometimes ignored because of its controversial response the topic can often provoke. While we have no intention of creating controversy, we do plan to consider what spirituality means as a mother and what it means as a child. In preparation for our May retreat, start thinking now… what does spirituality mean to you?
