Goddess of creation and destruction

Within the Costa Rican mountains lives an indigenous community led by women, called the Bribri. A core Bribri belief is that the earth is a woman, specifically, a goddess of fertility. It is Pachamama who has the creative force to bring life - human and plant! She presides over harvests and causes earthquakes (one of life and destruction). She is sometimes referred to as the, “good mother”. 

This past winter I had the opportunity to be amongst the Bribri with a group of strangers - women from all over the United States, who had one simple connection: a podcast. 

The Good Vibe Retreat was the experience of a lifetime and Black Girls With Green Thumbs is excited to announce that retreat leaders, podcasters, and mommys, Erica & Milah, of Good Moms Bad Choices, will be this year’s keynote speakers for the 2nd Annual They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds Family Wellness Retreat. 

Good Moms Bad Choices are two uncensored, outspoken parents who are redefining modern motherhood and breaking life’s archaic stereotypes. At the Family Wellness Retreat GMBC will talk to us about how to “find your tribe” and the importance of support systems.

Much like with our Family Wellness Retreat, Good Moms Bad Choices encouraged women to give themselves the opportunity to reset and let go, but in Costa Rica. You do not have to travel to the equatorial South to experience self-reflection, the positive benefits of being in nature or to connect with others. Register for They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds Family Wellness Retreat today, to reserve you and your children’s spot.
