Light Snacks, Dessert, and Drinks Provided; Everyone Welcome
Matria House serves women across generations and life experiences who are seeking community, nourishment, connection, and care. Single women, married women, women who are moms, women of diverse backgrounds and identities - all are welcome here and judgments must be dropped at the door!
This summer, from June 26 - August 16, Matria House will begin as a seasonal pop-up space - an opportunity to bring women together in a softer, more flexible way while our larger long-term vision continues to grow. Matria House will offer a women’s co-working/play space and drop-in child play sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9am-4pm and women’s gatherings on Tuesday evenings from 530pm-730pm. We hope to add skill shares on Sundays from 1pm-3pm if there is community interest. We hope you will also join us for free community potlucks on Sundays from 1130-1.
A note on men and children: While Matria House is designed to center women, we recognize some women’s roles as mothers and wives are intertwined with what Matria House offers. Matria House believes it is critical that children witness women being supported and caring for themselves, and that men not only play a part, but are deeply integral, to what Matria House is building. Thus, we have designed a space where children are always welcome and will have dedicated areas to play safely while being watched by a trusted adult. Men are encouraged to contribute to and participate in community potlucks on Sundays as well as come play and care for their children in designated areas during other times. The women’s gathering room will be a women-only space during co-working/play sessions, and women only (plus babies in arms) space during facilitated women’s gatherings. While adult themes may be discussed in women’s spaces, young women starting at age 13 are welcome with parental consent.
What is Matria House?
A gentle, welcoming space where children can play safely while mothers and female caregivers work, rest, or create. Our drop-in work & play sessions are intentionally designed as a calm distraction-light environment, these sessions are reserved for women seeking quiet focus, creative work, and restorative community.
Children are invited into open-ended, imaginative play while women enjoy the freedom to co-work, journal, connect with other women, sip tea, read, or simply exist without pressure. Whether you need an hour or two to focus, recover, dream, or socialize, Matria House offers a supportive shared space rooted in care and community. The space has designated shared quiet zones for focused work, please bring your headphones if you need to pop into another area to take a call. There is limited availability for non-shared spaces - more coffee shop vibes than co-working office space.
Perfect for:
Mothers and female caregivers needing flexible support
Remote work or creative focus time
Getting personal admin accomplished
Women with ADHD that thrive with a body double or need a more structured environment and external accountability
A modern, feminine spin on “water cooler” talk to promote social connection
Gentle transitions into community for children and caregivers
Matria House hosts weekly facilitated women’s circles on Tuesday evenings from 530 to 730pm and seasonal celebrations monthly that invite women into deeper connection with themselves, one another, and the rhythms of our world.
These gatherings are designed to foster belonging and shared experience across generations. These are facilitated sessions designed specifically around identified community interests so please reach out if you have a topic you’d like to discuss with other women!
Circles may focus around topics such as:
domestic labor and the mental load
modern family structures such as dual income households
navigating life transitions like motherhood, divorce, career changes
reclaiming intuition and finding identity
feminine leadership and financial empowerment
modern homemaking and parenting
women’s wellness
These community gatherings are designed to reconnect women with the wisdom that has traditionally been shared in kitchens, gardens, and living rooms across generations. Knowledge Transfer & Skill Share Gatherings are collaborative spaces where women gather to teach, learn, discuss, and share skills, stories, experiences, and practices that support fuller living and move our community toward self-reliance and resilience. Rather than formal lectures, these events feel relational and participatory.
Topics may include:
Gardening, food preservation, and seasonal living
Sewing basic repairs, knitting
Art, music, dance
Financial planning and money management
Making natural lotions, candles, and cleaning supplies
Woodworking and building
Auto and household repair
These gatherings create space for women to share their knowledge, learn something new, and remember they do not need to navigate life alone.
Nourished. Supported. Celebrated.
Every Sunday afternoon, Matria House opens its doors for free community potlucks — a simple but meaningful tradition rooted in the belief that nourishment is something we create together.
In a culture where many women and families feel isolated, rushed, and disconnected, these gatherings offer space to slow down, share a meal, and remember what community can feel like.
These afternoons are designed to feel warm, relaxed, and intergenerational — children playing nearby, elders sharing wisdom, new friendships forming around the table. Through shared meals, conversation, and presence, we strengthen the kind of community that helps people feel supported in everyday life.
At Matria House, we believe care should not exist behind paywalls alone. Community potlucks are one way we practice mutual nourishment, hospitality, and collective care — creating a place where women and families can gather not because they need to buy something, but because they belong.
The vision
Matria House exists to return women to themselves - and to one another. We believe the modern home, reflected by society, was not built with women at its center. It was built on extraction - of time, of labor, of identity. Here, we are building something different. A community where time is reclaimed, labor is visible, where joy and rest are not earned but expected.
We honor the motherline - the wisdom carried in our bodies, the knowledge passed between women, the ways of living that existed long before we were told to do it all alone. We offer spaces of safety, of play, of restoration, of becoming. A place to be together with other women, where children are welcome and no one carries it all.
We believe in sovereignty over sacrifice. In community over isolation. In cycles over constant output. In stewardship over consumption. Matria House is not a class, a retreat, a trend, or a brand. It offers a return to a way of living where women are resourced, rested, and rooted. A place where you can expand your capacity to receive and practice living from a place of overflowing abundance. We believe each woman has infinite potential and together we are unstoppable.
Matria House begins this summer as a pop-up experience — a living experiment in intergenerational care, women’s community, and collective nourishment. The pop-up format allows us to start bringing women together in meaningful, low-pressure ways and thoughtfully shape future offerings based on the needs and desires of the community we are building together.
This season is about gathering before scaling. Sharing meals before building systems. Creating belonging before permanence. By offering a summer of gatherings, co-working/play sessions, and community potlucks, we are planting the seeds of what Matria House is becoming: a lasting place where women are nourished, supported, and celebrated to go forth and create deeply connected families and communities.
