​Matrescence: A Season of Community Exploration

​This offering is a space to re-identify with yourself as the center of the unfolding, to center your emergent becoming in the narrative of matrescence. To see this season of your life not as behind the scenes to another person’s becoming, but as a long threshold moment of your own.

​It’s about meaning-making and reimagining, tending to the complex terrain of identity, desire, grief, joy, and embodiment.

​And it’s about being witnessed in that process—not just by a guide, but by a circle of others walking their own parallel thresholds. Our hope is to gather no more than 8 participants for this initial group.

​What to expect:

• ​9 Biweekly Group Circles
  A 75m gathering is held every ~10days, each one devoted to a key theme arising in matrescence. These include topics like transformation, rupture, ritual, lineage, voice, and re-integration. These sessions are the backbone of our shared journey.
  We've increased the number of the Group Circles from 6 to 9 with the intent that you can make at least 6 of them. Especially in this phase of life, scheduling can be complex, so we've built in flexibility

• ​2 Flexible 30m 1:1 Drop-In Sessions with Jaclyn
  These can be scheduled as needed in the weeks where group sessions are not held. They’re spacious, presence-based, and tailored to what arises in your own inner process—whether that’s grief, joy, confusion, or clarity.

• ​Facilitated WhatsApp Group 
  You can expect curated conversation, inspiration, writing prompts and connection.

​Why This, Why Now?

​We live in a culture that rushes us out of transitions before they’ve had the chance to open. But matrescence—the becoming of a mother—is not a single moment, it’s a slow unfolding. This group exists to honor this intricate threshold.
