The empowerHER UK Mother’s Day Retreat
empowerHER UK’s 2nd Annual Mother’s Day Retreat took place in London on Mother’s Day, 10 March 2024🦋
Our 2nd Annual United Kingdom Mother’s Day Retreat was simply magical 🧚♀️ 💫 🇬🇧 It was an extraordinary day full of so many fun activities! And, it was beyond special to see new connections being made and friendships blossoming!
A special thank you to Mary Ward House for hosting us at their amazing space, and to Roomservice by CORT Interiors for donating the beautiful furniture that made the space have just the right “vibe.” We are forever grateful to our amazing hosts Hannah + Tara, and to all of the volunteers on our committee who made this incredible day happen. Thank you to Sara and Tara for an amazing and intimate yoga + sound healing session, a delicious lunch sponsored by Rayner Personnel Lauren Griffins's amazing friends and family, clay art with Cara, and vision boards + self-care with Janey.

More about the empowerHER UK Mother’s Day Retreat
At empowerHER UK, we know that Mother’s Day can be a difficult day – and maybe the weeks leading up to the day are tough, too.
Boston native Cara Belvin formed empowerHER in 2013 to bring girls + young women together on Mother's Day and meet others who could relate to this painful loss. And, ultimately to remind them, “you are not alone in your grief.” Growing up after the loss of her own mother Kit when she was just 9 years old, Cara was desperate to meet others who could relate, and who ultimately could help her to see, “loss is survivable.”
That first Retreat was held in downtown Boston, Massachusetts in 2013 as a non-therapeutic, volunteer-driven and community-based event. Click HERE to view video recap and meet the girls + young women of empowerHER UK.
