DAUGHTERING:

(Re)Examining The Experience,

(Re)Claiming Our Agency

Life's most foundational relationship: Our Experience of Being Mothered

From our earliest moments, our most primal need is to be nurtured, loved, fed and kept safe.

MOTHER

Profound significance is tied to the word Mother! It's a person, a role, an unexamined expectation of providing love and value to a child; us. And in our patriarchal views, Mother is a societal/cultural icon.

From the moment of our first breath, Mothers are expected to embrace our nurturing care with joy, and gratefulness; to feel complete and fulfilled in this role and activity. We expect them to do it with awareness of our needs and often, an equal abandon of the other competing needs in her own life.

Nowhere else in our lifetime is there a relationship more primal, intimate or emotionally impactful as that between a mother and daughter.

As we grow, we begin our steady march towards independence and separation from these same Mothers. We step into our emotional, financial and lifestyle independence with almost the same determination and ferocity to separate as the process we undertook to enter life and physically separate from her actual body.

We are not all Mothers,

BUT

we ARE all Daughters

Our Daughtering Experience has left it's marks on us - for good or not.

As Daughters, we have been impacted in profound ways that have shaped, molded and cast us into our current being. Because these are some of our earliest experiences, we are not always aware of how our experience is impacting us today. Our earliest experiences are so deeply encoded in our brains and bodies that we may find ourselves reacting but not always understanding the source of our responses.

Every day, we play out the same experiences with the people in our lives.

We repeat arguments, disagreements, hurts, frustrations, disappointments without fully appreciating why we keep having the same situations occur. We see the same cycles show up in families going back generations; even when time and distance separates the family members.

How is that possible?

Our Daughtering Experience has been and continues to be impacted by the expectations, role models and concepts we've absorbed from living in a patriarchal culture.

What do we expect of mothers?

How have our expectations of the Mother role changed over time?

How do these expectation support us or hurt us?

What is our family's generational legacy handed down mother to daughter? And how does it show up in our own life or the lives of our extended family?

Where will it end?

Are you the cycle breaker?

These are some of the questions we will work with in this program.
