Registration is open for my Spring & Summer Writing Group!
Join a small virtual circle of mamas for 10 weeks of wild, unedited writing together. This group will provide a respite for you to come back to yourself with carved out time to write, reflect, and be in community with other moms who get it and are in it too.
There is no requirement to consider yourself a "writer," be good at writing, or have written anything before!
All you need is the desire to excuse the inner critic out of the room and write with abandon:) This is simply to trust-fall into what is real and unpolished and true inside of yourself and put it on the paper without editing or trying to sound smart or put-together.
To register:
Venmo $370 to: @lani-klaphaak (or if you’re registering with a friend venmo $320 each)
send me an email at lani.yadegar@gmail.com so I know you're in.
I'll reply with your Google Meet link and everything you need.
—Register by Saturday May 16th—

Summer can feel daunting to moms. Sure, there’s less of a morning rush (sometimes), but routines get interrupted, the schedule is different each week, and there’s lots of chauffeuring the kids around.
It can be easy to dismiss all the things that YOU want to do during the summer months because it feels overwhelming to add anything more to the already full-to-the-brim family calendar.
But—give yourself a gift this summer. Put a ritual for YOU on the calendar.
Motherhood can be the most creatively alive you've ever felt — and also the loneliest. There is so much to process at every season of this journey, and so little space to put it into words.
This is that space.
A Mini-Retreat Series in the Wild for Mamas
This Spring…
Step away. Take a moment for yourself. Arrive fully. Be fed. Have time to think. Complete sentences. Revel in the wild beauty of West Marin wilderness outside, and the wild beauty of yourself within. Mark a rite of passage on your motherhood journey. Enjoy time with other mamas who get it.

“Lani’s unique form of magic comes from her ability to blend the real, the raw, and the powerful with softness, grace, and beauty, allowing all aspects of motherhood and self to be seen and held. I loved her weaving of poetry and prose with creative prompts and ways to reflect and share. I felt safe, connected, and supported in her care.”
—Dianna Kane, Mama & Somatic Coach

“Lani’s authenticity and depth instilled a sense of safety and trust in me, immediately. Having a weekly mother’s circle that she facilitated has been such a sacred and important part of my new motherhood journey. My favorite aspect of the group has been having the opportunity to self-reflect on the changes, the challenges, the grief, the joy, and the raw beauty of this vulnerable, sensitive, and unique season of life among other women who truly get it and can see me and feel me with unconditional love.”
—Gianna Mautone, Mama & Chiropractor

“During the months of being in Lani’s group, I felt my sense of ease, confidence, and trust in this most precious time in my life grow significantly. Even just being in community with other new moms is medicine, but the experience was further nourished by the careful and deliberate way that Lani brought us together. This woman is a treasure trove of literature and reflections on motherhood that gave me words to articulate and understand my own experience as a mom. She is grounded and real and the perfect one for this container.”
—Camryn Rose, Mama & Entrepreneur
Dive into the deep on all things motherhood in the company of other mamas who are also in it. Build community in a time when it’s needed most, and explore the themes that are coming up during this precious and wild time.
Belonging is our birthright.
Mama’s Groups in the Wild
Mama’s Groups in the Wild ——click below if you are interested and would like more information on a Mamas group that meets somewhere beautiful in nature in Marin monthly. I’m gathering interest and would love to facilitate a group dedicated to weaving community and sisterhood among mamas. This would be open to moms in different seasons of their motherhood journey, who have children of different ages. Ideal for those wanting more community with other moms and are excited about inviting in the elements of the wild into the experience. In this group we will be building nature altars, doing rite of passage work to honor and mark transitions, seasons, chapters of our motherhood journeys, and we will have the opportunity to incorporate mini day quests into the groups. Each group would meet outside and would include some brief contemplative time in nature as well as a a theme/topic that would guide our time/exploring/sharing/witnessing/creating together.
*Please note, this is a mamas only group. As much as we love the little ones, we ask that this be a time for just grown ups in order to allow a depth and quality of presence. Thanks for your understanding.
