TENDER FUTURES LAB — Raising the Future, While Healing the Past

A six-week virtual workshop with Sahar Habib Ghazi (2030Mama)

Each session is held with care, cultural sensitivity, and deep attention to safety.

What This Workshop Is

A six-session journey through the past, present, and future of your parenting — designed to help you:

• Release inherited fear, shame, and control

• Reconnect with your inner child and inner wisdom of your ancestors

• Repattern your nervous system and daily parenting moments

• Root your parenting in curiosity, compassion, and possibility

• Build capacity to give yourself, your children, your community grace and love

• Imagine the child you are raising into the future, and the ancestor you are becoming

Each week blends guided practices (meditation, breathwork, somatic movement), journaling, group writing, and gentle reflection, all held in a supportive online community, so you can become besties with your emotional truths.

This space is open to women at all life stages — you don’t need to be actively parenting to participate. Past labs have included single women, non-parents, and empty nesters.

Testimonials

"Today seeing the possible future me, who shows up for herself, made me feel hopeful."

"I thought I was signing up for a parenting lab. Turns out, I was also meeting versions of myself I hadn't spoken to in years. Somewhere between the exercises and conversations, I started realizing how much of adulthood is shaped by things we never fully processed."

"I'm more regulated than I've ever been. When I'm triggered, I usually go into flight or fawn. I had a conflict — and I didn't jump into my go-to responses. I made sure to breathe, stay connected to myself, and I was able to tell my side."

"This lab did what years of talk therapy hasn't: it integrated past me with future me, afraid me with courageous me, outside me with inside me. Sahar is a natural healer. In her loving care, I have met a purer, kinder, more joyful version of myself and learned to integrate that version into my daily life. The breathwork and sound meditations have become a daily practice, as has somatic journaling. Regardless of a screen, Sahar will see through your eyes into your soul."

"After the class, I was looking at the icy snow that refuses to melt here in NY. I was thinking about the endless loop of meaning-making and reinforcing of limiting beliefs. I haven't allowed all that to thaw — and it would be awful if this snow doesn't melt and I keep piling on new snow. Grateful that I'm able to recognize this through this work."

"It was the most transformative, beautiful and clarifying — not just for parenting, but for my inner child too. I found self-love after 34 years. I think that's testament enough."

"I felt held, seen and heard. Sahar is gifted. This parenting lab is a steal for the price it's been offered at."

"I loved signing into a screen full of women so soft and open."

"I came alone but I left the lab with a villager and a deeper connection with my body."

"You have built a beautiful village and I'm grateful to be a part of it."

"It is a safe space to be yourself. With non-judgmental, growth-oriented women. It is healing and connecting and eye-opening. I am glad I did this for myself."

"I was apprehensive — but I was able to follow along so well, honestly time went past so fast."
