This is something we have needed in Central Iowa for quite some time. Join us in person for a relaxing and fun Special Needs Mother's Retreat where we will connect, relax, and discuss important issues impacting our families, such as waivers, qualifying for disability, navigating a complex healthcare system, residential placements and when to apply, special education, applying for day habilitation, and navigating life when school ends. It is a perfect chance to unwind, connect with other amazing moms, and recharge your spirit for the battle ahead. Expect good vibes, heartfelt moments, and plenty of support. You deserve this break—come as you are and leave feeling rested, connected to a community, and inspired for the long road ahead. Registration is capped at 12 to maintain a personal experience and to be small enough to have some meaningful discussions with other mothers who understand what it means to raise special-needs kids. This is an overnight retreat for special needs mothers and caregivers only. Please contact the Holiday Inn & Suites Northwest directly at 515-278-4755 to reserve your room under the block reserved for Caring Hearts Rest & Connection at our special group rate of $124.00 + tax. Again, the hotel block is capped at 12 so please register early! Cut-off date for registration at the discounted rate is August 13, 2026. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/59603df0-a5b1-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w740-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg This is the OQR Code to make your hotel reservations directly with Holiday Inn & Suites Northwest by IHG.Agenda🕑: 05:00 PM - 12:00 PMSpecial Needs Mother's Retreat AgendaHost: Caring Hearts Rest & Connection🕑: 05:00 PM - 05:30 PMArrival/Check-In🕑: 05:30 PM - 06:30 PMGreetings/Getting to Know You🕑: 06:30 PM - 08:00 PMDinner with new Friends🕑: 08:00 PM - 11:00 PMEvening Connection Activities🕑: 07:00 AM - 08:00 AMBreakfast🕑: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AMMorning Yoga🕑: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMChurch Service at The First Church of God - 4201 E Douglas Ave, Des Moines, IA - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/urbandale/special-needs-mothers-retreat/100001989187402067 - **Event Categories**: kids, health-wellness, holiday, yoga, good-friday - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 19 hours - Location: Holiday Inn & Suites Des Moines-Northwest by IHG - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 129.89, max: 129.89, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Urbandale - **state**: IA - **country**: United States - **location**: Holiday Inn & Suites Des Moines-Northwest by IHG - **lat**: 41.648905 - **long**: -93.699905 - **full address**: Holiday Inn & Suites Des Moines-Northwest by IHG, 4800 Merle Hay Road, Urbandale, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Special Needs Mother's Retreat - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/034998596f066cd09beeeb3ee85e8e7b912b0a3613b369c7d04304b5a3c483c5-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8ccbee-gmir.jpg?v=1779513282 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Special Needs Mother's Retreat being held? - **A:** Special Needs Mother's Retreat takes place on Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Holiday Inn & Suites Des Moines-Northwest by IHG, 4800 Merle Hay Road, Urbandale, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Special Needs Mother's Retreat? - **A:** Special Needs Mother's Retreat is organized by Caring Hearts Rest & Connection. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Special Needs Mother's Retreat", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/034998596f066cd09beeeb3ee85e8e7b912b0a3613b369c7d04304b5a3c483c5-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8ccbee-gmir.jpg?v=1779513282", "startDate": "2026-09-12T17:00:00-05:00", "endDate": "2026-09-13T12:00:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/urbandale/special-needs-mothers-retreat/100001989187402067", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Holiday Inn & Suites Des Moines-Northwest by IHG", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "4800 Merle Hay Road", "postalCode": "50322", "addressLocality": "Urbandale", "addressRegion": "IA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.648905", "longitude": "-93.699905" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A chill day for moms of special needs kids to relax, share, and recharge together in person!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-05-23", "availabilityEnds": "2026-09-13T12:00:00-05:00", "validFrom": "2026-05-23", "lowPrice": "129.89", "highPrice": "129.89", "price": "129.89", "url": "https://allevents.in/urbandale/special-needs-mothers-retreat/100001989187402067" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-05-23", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-05-23", "url": "https://allevents.in/urbandale/special-needs-mothers-retreat/100001989187402067", "price": "129.89", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Caring Hearts Rest & Connection", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/caring-hearts-rest-and-connection/27824638" } ] } ] ```
