Mom’s Sanctuary Evening
May 29 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
A sacred evening to nurture the Woman within you.
“Come as you are, leave lighter.”
You give so much, every single day. You get overwhelmed and exhausted. This evening is yours.
Join us for Mom’s Sanctuary — an intimate, curated, inaugural wellness experience designed by LightenUp Life Now specifically for mothers who are ready to exhale, reconnect, and remember who they are beyond the to-do list.
THE EVENING FLOW
Arrive, settle in, and let the evening carry you through a thoughtfully designed journey from stress to ease:
Qigong — Reconnect with your energy and restore your natural flow
Meditation — Quiet the noise and come home to yourself
Dance — Move freely, laugh openly, and rediscover your joy
Your Free Flow Time
Woven throughout the evening are pockets of intentional, unstructured time — because sometimes the most healing thing is simply having the freedom to choose. Explore what calls to you:
Massage — Let go of the tension your body has been quietly carrying
Journaling with artwork — Reflect, release and write what your heart needs to say
Psychic Reading — Receive a moment of personal insight and reflection
* Please note limited spots available for Massage and Psychic Reading
Enjoy a glass of bubbly and light refreshments — because you deserve to be nourished, too.
AN EVENING THAT GIVES BACK -- profits benefit two organizations close to our hearts:
DVCC — Domestic Violence Crisis Center — Supporting survivors of domestic violence with crisis intervention, shelter, and advocacy. Because every woman deserves to feel safe.
Filling in the Blanks — A nonprofit fighting childhood hunger by delivering weekend meal bags to more than 10,000 food-insecure children across Fairfield County and beyond each week.
Your ticket doesn’t just restore you — it lifts others.
The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift
May is the month we celebrate mothers — and what better way to honor the mom in your life than giving her the gift of herself? Whether you’re treating yourself or a family member is looking for something truly meaningful this Mother’s Day, Mom’s Sanctuary is an experience she will carry in her heart long after the evening ends. Skip the flowers. Give her something she would never give herself - give her restoration.
