I would so love to attend a Mother's Plunge. Would you consider coming out to my neck of the woods sometime? There's a place nearby that would be perfect... http://www.maryroseherbfarm.com/home.htm

Whenever you talk about the Mother's Plunge one little tape in my head says "Oh, one more thing I can't do because I'm not a mother". Isn't that odd. I do realise that not having children doesn't prevent me from any kind of plunging, and yet that wee voice persists. I let it persist but don't let it possess me.

Karen Maezen Miller said...

There is no one who isn't a mother, man or woman or being, and no one without that little voice repeating, "you can't."

If you're not Kuan Yin, Kannon, Mary, Avalokeshvara, and all the great compassionate mothers in creation, who could it possible be? Come and see.

the mother's plunge was everything i had hoped for and more. and i went with one of my best friends (who isn't yet a mother) and we BOTH LOVED IT! it's an ideal way to spend a day.
