MotherCircle
Intergenerational 8 week series for mothers
Mothers’ stories need to be told. They need to be heard.
I attended my first MotherCircle in my early postpartum days and it was such a balm for my soul.
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.
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.
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.

This circle will be a child-free space.

This class is sequential in nature, therefore it’s important to attend all 8 classes. There is some flexibility (if you need to miss 1 or 2 classes) but in order to get the most complete experience, make the intention to come to all classes.

“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.”
