Mother’s Blessing Retreat
Be Held Like a Mother Should Be...
A sacred weekend in upstate New York to honor, nourish, and witness the mother—together in community.
For so long, mothers have been expected to give endlessly…
without being held in return.
This weekend is different.
July 17th -19th, 2026
Motherhood Was Never Meant to Be Done Alone
Somewhere along the way, we forgot how to care for the mother.
We celebrate the baby… but who holds her? We offer advice… but where is the nourishment? We expect strength… but where is the softness?
The village is missing.
And many mothers are left feeling unseen, unsupported, and depleted.
You are invited into a deeply nourishing weekend devoted to honoring the mother—her journey, her becoming, her deep and often unseen devotion.
This is more than a retreat.
This Is a Return to the Village
This retreat is a sacred remembering.
A return to mother-centered care. The gentle, unwavering care that a woman deserves as she crosses the threshold into motherhood and beyond. A space where you are held, witnessed, and replenished.
How You’ll Feel When You Leave
-
Deeply nourished and rested
-
Emotionally held and witnessed
-
Reconnected to yourself as a woman—not just a mother

At the Heart of the Experience
A Mother’s Blessing Ceremony
At the center of our weekend is a deeply meaningful Mother’s Blessing Ceremony honoring Diana Alberti.

Meet the Team
Meet the incredible women who will be guiding us through the circles and ceremony.
Post-Partum Doula
Nati Zuniga
Nati will be sharing the wisdom for postpartum care.
Nati Zuniga is a birth and postpartum doula, Somatic Experiencing educator, and nutrition and herbalist enthusiast with over a decade of experience holding space for birthing people and their families. She completed her Postpartum Doula training under DONA and is an Innate Traditions Practitioner, having completed her Postpartum Care and Physiologic Baby Care trainings. She brings a deeply holistic approach that honors the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical dimensions of the postpartum journey. Nati has had the privilege of supporting over 100 families, weaving together ancestral wisdom, plant medicine, somatic practices, and the power of community to nurture those in the tender threshold of new life. She is rooted in the Hudson Valley of New York, where she serves with love, trust, and reverence for the great mother in all of us.
Birth Doula
Amanda Alappat
Amanda will be guiding us through the Mother Blessing Ceremony.
Amanda Alappat is a birth doula and circle facilitator who holds space for women to move through pregnancy with intention, connection, and trust.
Her circles are a place to land—to be seen, to be heard, and to remember the innate wisdom already within. Through guided reflection, shared experience, and gentle ritual, she supports women in preparing for birth as a deeply personal and sacred unfolding.
Rooted in her work with children, nature, and embodied practices, Amanda brings a grounded, nurturing presence that honors both the emotional and physical journey of motherhood.
Her approach is guided by sisterhood, beauty, and a deep reverence for the transformative power of birth.
Choose your experience
If you are unable to attend the full weekend, you are warmly invited to join us for a one-day immersion on Saturday or just the Mother Blessing Ceremony.
This experience is designed to be complete and deeply meaningful—allowing you to step fully into the circle, reconnect with the wisdom of mother-centered care, and participate in the Mother’s Blessing Ceremony.
While the full weekend offers a more spacious and deeply restorative experience, the day retreat and Mother Blessing Ceremony is a beautiful way to enter the village and be part of this sacred gathering.
A limited number of spaces are available to preserve the intimacy of the circle.
Who is this for
This Space Is For You If…
-
You are a mother or woman who desires to be held and nourished
-
You feel the absence of true community
-
You believe in honoring sacred transitions
-
You want to support another mother in a meaningful way
You Might Be Wondering…
Q: I don’t know anyone—will I feel comfortable?
This space is intentionally created to feel safe, welcoming, and deeply connected. Women arrive as strangers and leave as community.
Q: I feel guilty taking time for myself.
When a mother is nourished, everyone benefits. This is not indulgence—it is restoration.
Q: I’m not “spiritual enough.”
No experience is needed. Come exactly as you are.
You Deserve to Be Held, Too
There is nothing you need to prove here.
No role to perform.
No expectations to meet.
Just a space where you are cared for…
deeply, gently, and fully.
