Soft Place to Land - Mother's Day Luncheon
Need a soft place to land on Mother’s Day? Join us for a gentle, welcoming luncheon at Christi Matens’ home — created especially for those who find this day complicated, tender, or heavy.
All are welcome—men, women, nonbinary—whether you’re grieving, estranged, longing, or simply not feeling the Hallmark version of the day. We’ll make space for care, connection, conversation, or quiet presence—whatever you need.
Come as you are, you don’t have to carry it alone.
RSVP to Christi Matens: cmatens@me.com
