An immersive educational experience designed to empower mothers of autistic humans through learning, reflection, and connection. This program strengthens caregiving capacity, deepens understanding of neurodiversity, and nurtures peaceful family rhythms through autistic-affirming education, action-oriented practice, and restorative community experiences.

Why Join Us?

Not just another powerpoint presentation.. 

You’ve already rejected the old way — the fix-it, compliance-driven model that told you, your child’s difference was a problem to solve. You’ve seen the harm that the pathology paradigm has caused. It breaks your heart when you think of where you’ve been….

But even when you know the truth — that being autistic is not the problem — Life can be full of hurdles and heartache.  You’ve probably had to translate, explain, and advocate more times than you can count. You carry both the deepest love and exhaustion.

That’s why this work matters — because you matter. Because your capacity to keep showing up as the best version of yourself can get depleted in a world that doesn’t get it, get you and certainly doesn’t get your child. 

You know that you need to nourish yourself, take care of you. It’s not just you that knows this…it’s well researched too. When moms gather in strength based, community oriented settings good things happen:  greater confidence, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging, great capacity to provide care.  

You don’t need more lectures about what’s wrong — you need learning that serves your soul and honors your purpose in life, to be the very best mom to your beautiful autistic child(ren). 

Love & Autism Workshops & Experiences are built for you: the mother who has already done the hard work of unlearning, and is now ready to expand — to learn in ways that restore, deepen, and sustain the love that’s always been your compass.

Where?

 A Sacred Space to Come Home to Yourself

Gaia Villa in Joshua Tree is a purpose-built oasis.

This is not another workshop on how to parent — it’s a space designed entirely for you.

True growth can’t come from furiously writing notes while listening to another presentation on powerpoint, to just throw that conference notebook in one of the piles. 

Love & Autism seminars and workshops are meant to experience and embody the change that you will take into your life. This experience is designed with intentionality.

With individual and small group curated content, learning seeps into the bones and lives in your heart well beyond our time together. 

Our Workshops & Experience is only one part of how we grow. Your experience is fully customizable with pre-retreat and post-retreat anchors. Some people will want more 1:1 coaching while others may want to enjoy the serenity of the environment. Your attendance to each workshop or coaching session is entirely designed by you. When we meet, we will dream together to create an experience that is centered around YOU. 

Each of us carries unique needs in our bodies and nervous systems. To feel fully alive, we sometimes require different kinds of support. 

As part of your experience, you will be invited to stay at Gaia Villa.
