On May 1β3, 2026, CLTO hosted its annual Moms Retreat, bringing together 30 mothers of children with intellectual disabilities for a weekend filled with connection, and well-deserved self-care.
One of the weekendβs highlights was the Awaken Your Flame workshop, which helped participants reconnect with themselves through movement, reflection, and wellness practices. Moms also enjoyed activities like massages, crafts, trivia, karaoke, and more. π¬
