Love + Ethos’ mission is to create supportive spaces and opportunities for women journeying through motherhood while facing systemic, economic, and social challenges. We’ve seen how disparities can negatively impact one’s life trajectory, and feel called to help close the gaps for women facing these disadvantages. Love + Ethos was founded to build supportive environments and programming that promote enhanced quality of life and holistic well-being. With an initial focus on serving women in their postpartum journey, Love + Ethos will be hosting an inaugural postpartum retreat in August, creating a space for community, healing, and uplifting moms through retreat-style learning.
Postpartum is said to last anywhere from 6-8 weeks post-birth. But moms with experience know that this period can last up to 2 years after birth, before feeling some sense of pre-birth normalcy. Great physical, emotional, and mental changes come along with having children and there are missed opportunities to support women during this time. Many of us need more support from friends and family, more time from work, social support, and specific tools to guide us through the postpartum era.
Love + Ethos successfully hosted 10 women at our inaugural postpartum retreat in September 2024, thanks to the generous contributions from our donors who helped us raise $20,000. We are continuing our efforts and hope to hold the next retreat in March 2025. Our goal is to raise funds which will go towards covering housing, food, classes, and facilitation costs for Postpartum Retreat attendees.
We are also asking our community to support our fundraising efforts outside of this specific event. Our goal is to raise funds which will go towards our overall programing through Love + Self, Love + Community and Love + Expansion.
