We’re living in a time where our attention is constantly pulled in a hundred directions. The world is moving faster than our nervous systems were ever built for, and most women are carrying an invisible load of responsibilities, emotions, and expectations. Our days are full, yet so many of us feel stretched thin. Hidden behind the gates of the Rabkin Japanese Gardens is a space where that noise finally softens. A place where women can exhale more deeply, speak more honestly, and rise more fully into themselves. Join three dynamic facilitators - Kristy Joy Weidner, LCSW, CCTP-1 and Maisha Howze, MS - for a powerful retreat designed to help you reconnect with your strength, clarity, and inner leadership. This immersive, day-long experience blends mindfulness, somatic grounding, storytelling, personal reflection, and community connection. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live aligned, resourced, and unapologetically rooted in your truth.

All materials and comforts provided, including a personal journal - simply arrive as you are.

Join us for our 3rd Annual Mother’s Day Garden Tea Gathering in the teahouse at the Rabkin Japanese Gardens, overlooking the koi pond and quiet spring blooms. This is an invitation to slow down and actually be here — to step out of the noise and into a few hours of presence, beauty, and connection.

Rooted in the heart of inJOY Meditation, this gathering is less about doing Mother’s Day “right” and more about creating space to arrive — to sip warm tea, feel the air, listen to music drift across the garden, and enjoy unhurried time together. No agenda. No pressure. Just a beautiful setting that helps your nervous system soften. High tea is a traditional afternoon tea experience with a curated selection of teas, light savory bites, and sweet treats — meant to be enjoyed slowly. Warm tea in your hands, small thoughtful plates, and time to linger in good company. It’s less about a formal meal and more about savoring simple pleasures in a beautiful, unhurried setting.

Whether you’re honoring a mother figure, sharing a meaningful experience with someone you love, or choosing to treat yourself, this afternoon is designed to feel simple, elegant, and nourishing.
