Let’s be real—moms don’t need another brunch. We need a break!
Join us for Rooted in Rest, a soulful wellness experience designed to help hardworking, heart-centered mamas reconnect with themselves, their breath, and their joy. Hosted by Werking Moms Club, this half-day retreat blends movement, mindfulness, and community in the name of radical rest and replenishment.
What to expect:
We’re kicking things off with a high-energy cardio and strength fusion class led by Ashantis Jones (@iamashantis)—think dance party meets workout and pure joy.
Then, we’ll slow it all the way down with restorative yoga led by Nia Ellis (@nias.nest), a calming guided meditation with L’Oreal Thompson Payton (@LTintheCity), and a deeply grounding sound bath with Candyce Jones (@noelledeluneyoga).
Whether you're deep in the motherhood trenches or just need space to exhale, this is your permission slip to pause. Because taking care of yourself is the most radical thing you can do—and you deserve it.
Also included:
✨ Goodie bags, light refreshments, and community vibes
✨ A portion of proceeds will benefit Free Root Operation’s The Bloom Network, centering the wellbeing of Black women and moms in Chicago
