β€œIf you've been caught in the rip tide of motherhood - giving so much of yourself to your kids; MotherCircle can be a chance to carve out a small space each week to just sit and catch your breath. You'll get to know yourself better and find new perspectives in both the curriculum and the other participants.” - Ashley

It is hard to make time to take care of ourselves amidst the caretaking pressures that motherhood places on us. What if we did?

Motherhood is a demanding, complex, and frequently lonely journey. As mothers navigating modern life, we need more support than ever. Many of us have not fully recovered from our birth experiences, and may still be recovering from being pushed to our limits during the pandemic.
Join a community of mothers where we talk about our journeys that are not the usual dinner party conversations: birth story medicine, sex lives, self-worth, and mother-line legacy. We go beyond the obvious topics that center around our children and dive deep to consider our well-being - physical and spiritual. 

Wherever you are on the motherhood path, whether you are a new mom or have school-aged children, teenagers, or kids that left the nest and now have children of their own, this circle is for you. Embrace the experience of womanhood and motherhood and celebrate it with others.

MotherCircle is for you. Join a community of fierce mothers who grapple with the same profound questions, challenges, struggles, and triumphs. Gather with like-hearted mothers who understand the journey and find solace in shared experiences.

The Mother Circle Journey

Based on Kimberly Ann Johnson’s MotherCircle curriculum, we dive into the following eight aspects of the motherhood experience:

  • 1. Mother Dive

    Entering motherhood is an underworld journey often not seen and recognized by the outer world. Learn the arc of this journey, the tools to be present to it, and be witnessed as you locate yourself within.

  • 2. Mother Cycle

    Awareness of our cyclical nature can help us align with our innate wisdom as mothers. Explore how being in rhythm with the cycles in and around us gives us more access to our wholeness and our power.

  • 3. Mother Body

    Everything a new baby needs a new mother also needs. Learn a powerful framework for assessing your physical and emotional wellness, and how to tend to what’s needed in your body no matter where you are at in your motherhood journey.

  • 4. Mother Jaguar

    The predator-prey dynamic is present in our experience of birth and motherhood. Explore how this awareness and understanding of our nervous system can impact your everyday life and mothering.

  • 5. Mother Birth

    Birth is an initiatory experience that fundamentally changes us. We’ll explore ways to access and share this experience that locates the wisdom that birth has to offer for our motherhood journeys.

  • 6. Mother Lover

    There is often a split between being a mother and being sexual. learn how to connect sexually as a mother and become more at home in your body and your sexuality.

  • 7. Mother Worth

    Motherhood changes how we relate to our work in the world. Explore the relationship between your worth and your value and anchor things that nurture your worth as a pert of your mothering practice.

  • 8. Mother Code

    We have a powerful opportunity to imagine the legacy we’d like to leave. We are shaped by our motherline and the mothers around us, and we can choose what we want to carry forward. Together we’ll identify the values that we want to guide our mothering and shape our lineage.

what previous participants say

  • What was the most valuable thing about your experience in MotherCircle?

    β€œTime and space for my own reflection and integration of this transformation into motherhood, in a thoughtfully facilitated container. Each week felt like taking a deep, restorative rest...like a yin yoga class for the soul.”

  • How was it for you?

    β€œI took Vanda’s mother’s circle last fall and it was a powerful experience to pause and focus on the massive transformation into motherhood and where I am on that journey. The sessions are targeted at key topics of birth experience, sex life post-birth, your worth, and more. The premise is on sharing and being witnessed, which I had never experienced before. I highly recommend!”

  • What would you say to someone considering joining a MotherCircle?

    β€œIf you've been caught in the rip tide of new motherhood - giving so much of yourself to your baby; everything about your life changing dramatically - MotherCircle can be a chance to carve out a small space each week to just sit on the beach and catch your breath.
