Mother Circle
Making sense of becoming and being a mama and building community
You want to understand what exactly happened to you and your old you when you became a mom?
You are trying to find ways to heal the physical, psychological and spiritual wounds inflicted upon you during the birth of your child and the first months as a mother?
You are looking for connection with other moms who are facing the same challenges, worries and crises?
You are longing for a community?
You would like to make sense of the transformation you went through when becoming a mom?
Then join me on this 8-session online journey of Mother Circle to find greater clarity and wisdom in a community of kindred spirits.
Together, we will explore ways of healing from birth, loss and early motherhood experiences. We will create a space of support in a time where you are most likely experiencing that you need more support than ever and have less available. You don’t have to do this alone, in fact, you can’t. We are social mammals; we can only make sense of and integrate our experiences in community. It takes a village to raise a child and to allow a mother to heal - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Let’s build this village together. Join a community of Mamas who are tackling the same questions, challenges, struggles and triumphs.
Together, we will explore a new archetype of womanhood and motherhood and define those in our own terms.

Course Overview
The 8 sessions of Mother Circle are adapted from a curriculum developed by Somatic Experience Practitioner, sexological body worker and birth doula Kimberly Ann Johnson:
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 it.
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 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 it has to offer for our motherhood journeys.
5. Mother Lover
There is often a split between being a mother and being sexual. Learn how to connect with your ever-changing sexuality as a mother and become more at home in your body and your sexuality.
6. Mother Jaguar
The predator - prey dynamic is present in our experience of birth and motherhood. Explore how this awareness and understanding of your nervous system can impact your everyday life and mothering.
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 the things that nurture your worth as part 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.
