What we’re about
This group used to be designed for mothers and their 12-18-year-olds, but due to heavy interest in a pre-teen version instead of a teen version, the age range has shifted to 8-12 (and their mothers, of course). If you are interested in a teen group, contact the facilitator.
Welcome to Roots and Wings, a unique mother-daughter group designed to strengthen your bond through mindfulness, nature, and meaningful conversation. This group offers an opportunity to step away from daily distractions and connect in a supportive, intentional space.
Each session includes:
- A guided check-in to ground you in the moment
- A silent, mindful walk using forest bathing techniques
- A thought-provoking prompt to deepen your connection
- A processing session to reflect and share (if you choose)
Sessions are open to mothers and daughters (ages 8-12). Whether you are looking to create new traditions, deepen your relationship, or simply spend quality time together, Roots and Wings offers a space to do just that.
IMPORTANT: RSVP on Meetup does not guarantee your spot. You must officially register through Eventbrite (linked in the event details) to attend.
Join us as we cultivate connection, presence, and understanding one step at a time.

Looking for a meaningful way to connect with your daughter this Mother's Day weekend?
Mothers and their daughters (ages 8-12) are invited to join Roots and Wings, a nature-based group designed to foster a connection between mindfulness and shared experiences.
Led by Rebecca Cohen, a local marriage and family therapy intern, this group is grounded in research showing that time in nature improves mental well-being and that strong maternal bonds are essential for young women’s emotional development. Yet, as daughters grow into young adulthood, it can be challenging to maintain that connection.
Roots and Wings brings mothers and daughters together for mindfulness walks on scenic trails, followed by guided reflections to deepen understanding and communication. Each session provides a relaxed, welcoming space for pairs to connect with each other and with others in a similar life stage.- Sessions begin on 5/10 and continue weekly. No long-term commitment is required, join as many sessions as you’d like!
- Spots are limited to keep the group intimate. Sign up today by visiting this page.
