MotherCircle
Dive Deep into Your Own Motherhood
a transformative 8 week arc
“Women circling is the oldest code.
Ancient wisdom and modern research tell us that when women gather, their mental health drastically improves.
And when mothers thrive, communities thrive."
-KIMBERLY ANN JOHNSON
Mama,
Are you feeling disconnected from the version of yourself you once knew, yet unsure of how to fully step into the woman and mother you’re becoming?
Do you long for community, but find it difficult to find the meaningful support and heartfelt connection you need?
Are you trying to heal and integrate your birth story and mothering journey, but are struggling to balance the complexities and fullness of motherhood AND create space for quiet introspection?
Do you feel like a stranger in your own body these days, and seek ways to honor and fully inhabit her?
Do you feel like you need more time for “self-care”, but don’t know how to create it in a life that already feels so demanding?
“When women come together with a collective intention – magic happens”
– PHYLICIA RASHAD
Gather with other mothers to understand the unseen arc of motherhood through stories, archetypes, movement, writing, and in allowing yourself to be seen and witnessing others.
If you’ve lost the trail, it’s time to reorient your compass
If you’re in the dark, it’s time to relight your candle
If you’re feeling stuck, it’s time to bring some movement into your mothering.
8 weeks to create magic together
Each week we will gather together to explore a theme, a realm, a layer of mothering
in a transformative, cohesive arc designed by Kimberly Ann Johnson
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

When I first became a mother, I had a feeling in my bones that there was more to it that I was not understanding. That there were deep, archetypal shifts happening that I was only slightly aware of. That there were lessons, gems, and incredible opportunities for growth that so many women have walked before me, but that I was left to figure out alone.
Becoming a MotherCircle facilitator gave me a map, a lantern, and compass. I was able to look down, and find that I was walking a well worn trail.
Your experience of motherhood is unique, and there are universal threads that connect us in this journey.
Frequently asked questions
Is this only for new moms?
No! MotherCircle is for:
Mothers with children of all ages
Women who want to be mothers
Mothers who want community with other mothers, and to gather around meaningful topics and motherhood wisdom
Mothers looking to live into a new narrative and redefine motherhood on their own terms
Women who care for mothers
Do I need to be able to attend every single one?
It's certainly recommended!
MotherCircle follows a specific arc, with information and experiences intentionally organized. Obviously, life happens, but you will get the most out of it if you can commit to showing up to all of them.
Will there be recordings?
MotherCircle is an intimate and interactive container. The presence and real time connection with other women is a huge piece of the medicine. That being said, there will be recordings but if you absolutely can't make a class, and I might send some suggestions on how to experience certain practices without the group container.
Is it ok if my kids are around?
Up to you! this container is for mothers, which means childcare will always be a factor. You are welcome to show up as you are, children present. I will say though that I was able to be way more present, and got so much more out of MotherCircle when I can arrange to have this hour alone.
I highly encourage you to prioritize carving out this space weekly to dedicate to YOURSELF and your mothering.
“We are taking the current patterns of connection deeper, and making them ceremonial and sacred.
We are practicing wisdom around birth and sex and money and worth, and living deeply from our values. And it’s touching every part of our lives, filtering into our work, our relationships and our mothering. We are courageously navigating our rites of passage and bringing back the wisdom for our communities.”

This is for women who...
…understand that there is a map for embodied motherhood held in our bodies, but are confused about how to bring all the threads together.
…are healing from and integrating their birth experience and are looking for witnessing and community support through this process from women who understand.
…feel the lack of community, passed down knowledge, and the ‘mothering’ of new mothers and are ready to receive more support.
…want to learn about embodied motherhood to prepare themselves for pregnancy, to usher friends and children across this threshold, or who are mothering in other ways.
“We know we are not meant to do this alone, and we know that concentric circles of mothers supporting mothers is the answer.”
