Mental Health
Beyond The Walls Healing Retreats
Beyond the Walls Healing Retreats are curated weekend retreats hosted in three (3) environments:
Healing at the Ocean
Healing in the Desert
Healing in the Vineyard
Women of all ages and backgrounds come together in a sister circle to breakdown the walls, glean from each others' experiences, and bonding with newfound sisters. Attendees end the weekend leaving refreshed with the tools to continue their work in vulnerability & mental fitness.
Art Therapy
Through our partnership with the Crocker Art Museum, every 2nd Saturday, women of all ages enjoy a 30-minute tour followed by intergenerational conversation in our sister circle.
Passes are free, however advance registration is required to attend and have your tour expenses covered by Mending of Mothers. Passes are first released to the mothers we serve, any remaining passes are then available on a first-come, first-served basis to the general population.

Garden Therapy
The Garden Therapy program is not a place to visit, it’s home...
Our Garden Therapy program combats food insecurity in local housing developments, while also providing a safe haven for the families we serve. Through the Garden Therapy program, families from local housing developments, acquire gardening skills, improve their food security, and develop healthy habits to sustain them.
