Beautiful Not Broken: Birthmother's Day 2024


Birthmother's Day 2024: Event Details & Registration


For the fourth year, On Your Feet invites birthmoms from near and far to gather together on Saturday, May 11, 2024 02:00 PM CST, Birthmother's Day to honor birthmothers while providing a safe and supportive space to process the complicated emotions Birthmother's Day and Mother's Day can bring.This year, we are incorporating our retreat theme — Beautiful, Not Broken — into our event. And just like our retreats, our event is hosted by birthmothers, for birthmothers.

Beautiful, not Broken, refers to the Japanese art of Kintsugi, a porcelain repair technique in which broken ceramics are put back together by sealing the broken edges together with real gold. Kintsugi recognizes that the value of an object is not rooted in perfection, but rather in its imperfections, and that these repairs are what makes things beautiful.

What to Expect During Our Gathering:

Sharing stories, discussing the philosophy of Kintsugi and how that may relate to being a birthmother, a safe and supportive space for all
