la casa de mamás
mamas Den:
a village within our village
We recognize that because of our mothers, we are able to show up and gather in sisterhood.
La casa de mamás “Mama’s Den” is not only a space for the mothers present at the gathering, but a symbol of respect being payed to our maternal ancestral lineage for bringing us here.

for mamas with babes 0-4
At Origins we honor the Mother below us, within us, and around us.
Every year we have a dedicated space for mothers, children and supportive sisters to connect and find comfort + freedom during the gathering.
This year our Mamas Den “workshop space” will have 2 purposes:
1. It is a safe, fenced in shaded area for you to play with your babies age 0-4.
2. A few workshops specific to motherhood will take place within this space too.

for mamas with babes 0-4 years
We’re creating a sweet space within our mamas den for you to lay down and nurse your little one. There will be a few simple sleep pads in a quiet zone for you to use as you wish during Origins. This will be a quiet shaded space inside space within the Mama’s Den.
Since the Nursing Nest is within the Mamas Den workshop/play space, you may overhear a sweet motherhood workshop being shared while you nurse you baby to sleep.

for kids 5 and up
Our Kids Village workshop space will offer a variety of workshops. Some workshops will be for you to attend with your kiddo and others will be classes just for kids. We’ll have a check in/check out system for the kids only class so you can have some solo time to step away and enjoy yourself.
Our kid’s workshop curriculums will be tailored to the age groups of children coming to the gathering. Based on the age ranges, we will curate specific instructors and workshops for your little ones.

for kids 5 and up
Our lovely mamas den sacred stewardship (volunteer) team will be assisting with childcare throughout the week.

Camping and glamping is available within the Mamas Den. You can pitch your own tent here, or choose to rent a tent/glamping space within the Mamas Den. Mamas Den camping is located in the heart of Basecamp, giving you close access to food, bathrooms, and many of our workshops.
