MotherCircle

Intergenerational 8 week series for mothers

A practice of building motherculture

Together we build a world that nurtures mothers, their children, and those who come after.


This circle is intergenerational and brings together mothers at all different phases of the journey. It’s a place for new mothers to be with grandmothers, expectant parents with those who have walked the motherhood journey for many miles, for those who have lost children, for anyone who identifies as a mother as well as people without children who tend and nurture young people and mothers in our community.

MotherCircle helps us remember the sacredness of our role, that we are not alone, we are part of a lineage that stretches to a time before memory. Together we have the chance to bring our threads together and weave a culture that holds mothers so they may rise up rooted in their vital role.

Mothers’ stories need to be told and witnessed.

Hosted in a cozy space

The Circle

The 8 class gathering is for mothers who want to understand the unseen parts of their motherhood journey - physically, sexually, emotionally, spiritually, and archetypally. Through the this experience mothers with reflect, share and deepen their awareness of their personal motherhood arc.

We will use myth, small group shares, embodiment practices, journaling and more to move through these different aspects.

This MotherCircle series was developed by Kimberly Ann Johnson and Jessica Connolley to mend the threads of disconnection and build the world mothers want our children to belong to.Read more about the origin here.

“The circle was a place to quench a thirst I didn’t know I had. It was a container for some deep work I did know was waiting but needed community in order to begin it. It was like remembering a Self I’d long since put away.”

“Over these 8 weeks I realized that each of our journey's is so much richer when we share in a circle of support.”
