ABOUT Becoming
Making ancient wisdom available for modern families
Your daughter is growing up. As her body is beginning to change, you notice that your relationship is also changing. Maybe she is pulling away more or maybe she is leaning in closer. Either way, you’re aware that you have a limited window in which to make a significant impact on her in her journey to…Becoming. To Becoming independent. To Becoming her own unique self. To Becoming confident in who she is as WOMAN.
Our Becoming Mother-Daughter Retreats are for mums and their daughters to go on deep inward journey to connecting with themselves and each other.
What to Expect
Turn off your phone, step into the bush, and disconnect from the outside noise. The next two nights are all about you and your daughter connecting and making forever memories.
The weekend is a beautiful mix of adventure and fun combined with a deep dive into topics such as friendships and other relationships, sex, living in sync with your menstrual cycle, love, society’s ideal of the "perfect woman", future dreams and what you are challenged by.
There are practical activities to get you deeply into your body and heart as well as beautiful simple rituals to celebrate and honour your daughter's gifts and strengths, and to recognise and acknowledge your daughter’s rite of passage from child to becoming a powerful and self-assured young woman.
We give you tools and practices you can take back into your every day so the journey of Becoming continues well after the weekend ends.
Come alive with pleasure, adventure and deep connection as you dance, journal under the stars, take a sauna or simply enjoy the stillness of the 15 acre property.
LIVE A LIFE BY DESIGN
We delve into vulnerable (age-appropriate) sharing around important topics surrounding womanhood including...
How can we connect more deeply

Self-love vision boarding

Why "Becoming"?
Becoming is more than just a retreat; it's a transformational experience, an opportunity to bloom and grow.
Sometimes the challenge is that our teenage daughter’s problems are too closely tied to our own unresolved issues. Or it may be linked to our fears and expectations that our child will get involved in disruptive and damaging behavior. When we soften as mothers, our daughters soften. When we connect to ourselves as mothers, our daughters can connect with themselves with more ease. At Becoming we take you on a deep dive into your own patterns to liberate you both into creating powerful and connected teenage years.
This retreat is designed to nourish and refresh your connection. Create lifelong memories as you give her an unforgettable Rite of Passage celebration.
Engage in transformative workshops and activities led by expert facilitators. Deepen your understanding of each other, strengthen your bond, and gain valuable tools to navigate the challenges of motherhood and adolescence.
Connect with like-minded mothers and daughters. Share stories, laughter, and support in a warm and inclusive community. Forge lifelong friendships that extend beyond the retreat.
Join us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and connection. Reconnect with yourself and your daughter in the serene and supportive atmosphere of our private horse ranch.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We feel the revolution and Becoming for well balanced adults will come from supporting our children with empowering tools to build a strong sense of self.
We do this through weaving both ancient philosophy and modern teachings of being strongly connected and self-empowered.
